1. Take a microwavable bowl. Add tamarind with little water and microwave it for 1min.
2. After it cools down, blend it along with salt and ajwain seeds.
3. Slit the green chillies and remove the seeds, if you like the bajjis to be spicy then avoid removing the seeds.Stuff the blended mixture in the slit green chillies and leave aside for 4-5 hours.
4. Take besan in a bowl, add salt, baking powder and mix it with enough amount of water. The batter should not be watery as it should stick to the bajji.( It is better to make the batter 2 hrs in advance so that the batter puffs in the right manner)
5. Add oil in a deep frying pan. When the oil gets heated, start dipping the chillies in the batter and put in the pan. Keep turning the bajjis regularly till they turn brown and remove them.
6. Take a bowl, add the chopped onions,coriander,chat masala, lemon juice and mix it well.
7. Slit the bajji and add this stuffing before serving.Or you can always cut the bajji to small pieces fry them for sometime, remove and sprinkle chat masala on top of it.
