On the occasions that long hot peppers would be spotted in the market in Mumbai, there was exactly one snack that immediately popped to mind. Mirchi (chili pepper) pakora. These peppers were simply 'useless' for spicing regular food, being too mild, but by themselves deep fried in a chickpea flour batter... all they needed was a friend to catch up on the latest bollywood gossip & a cup of piping hot 'Masala' Tea. ..or a cold frosty mug of Beer!
