Jalapeno Poppers (Stuffed Mirchi Pakora)

Ingredients (Serves 3)

• 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 Italian vegan sausage
• 1 cup canola oil for frying
• 4 big jalapeno peppers, seeded and halved
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup dry bread crumbs

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, mozzarella cheese and sausage (cut into small bits). Spoon this mixture into the jalapeno pepper halves.
2. Put the milk and flour into two separate small bowls. Dip the stuffed jalapenos first into the milk then into the flour, making sure they are well coated with each. Allow the coated jalapenos to dry for about 10 minutes.
3. Dip the jalapenos in milk again and roll them through the breadcrumbs. Allow them to dry, then repeat to ensure the entire surface of the jalapeno is coated.
4. In a medium skillet, heat the oil on medium to high heat. Fry the coated jalapenos 2 to 3 minutes each, until golden brown. Remove and let drain on a paper towel.
5. Serve with Dippings
