Preparation

Step 1

Remove seeds and membranes from peppers. Stuff each pepper with a strip of cheese.

In a small bowl combine milk, the 1 cup flour, egg, baking powder, baking soda, salt and canola oil; mix well to make a batter.

Pour enough oil in heavy frying pan to reach 1 inch in depth and heat over medium-high heat. Roll each pepper in the remaining flour and dip in the batter. Fry until lightly browned on both sides.


Notes:
Use canned green chiles, or char fresh green chiles over a flame, then peel them. Remove seeds and membranes.
