1 Tbsp Coriander seeds(Dhania) or Powder

1 tsp Sesame Seeds Powder

Wear Gloves and slit the Green Chillies lengthwise(dont slit completely the stem should be intact so that the stuffing doesnt come out) and deseed them.Keep the stuffing inside.Mix besan cornflour salt(acc to taste) with water and no lumps.Be carefull in adding water the mirchi should be able to hold the batter.Add baking soda.Heat a deep bottom vessel with oil for deep frying.Dip the mirchis in the batter.When the oil is hot turn to medium heat and drop slowly the mircis in oil.Transfer to a kitchen towel when golden brown.To check salt levels drop lil batter in oil and taste add accordingly.If you have left over batter slice potatoes thinly like the chips and dip in batter and deep fry.
