• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup cold water

Directions

7. Heat oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
8. Dip each stuffed chili into the batter, making sure it is evenly coated.
9. Carefully place the battered chili into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
