Chiles Rellenos is a Mexican dish with its origin in Puebla. Hatch Chile, Anaheim pepper, and Pasilla Meat are some of its common variations. It has an incredible taste and you would keep asking for more of it.
My father is a big foodie and he loves to cook as well. It was only last year that he surprised us with chiles Rellenos at lunch. It looked amazing and I loved it. Since I liked it too much, I asked my father to share the recipe for Chiles Rellenos with me. I have been cooking it ever since.
To make Chile Rellenos, bake the peppers and steam in a wrapped bowl. Then, remove their skin and seeds and stuff the peppers with cheese. In a bowl, mix egg yolks and baking powder and beat egg whites in another. Mix the egg whites with the yolk mixture. Take some flour in a shallow dish. Then, dip the peppers in the flour and egg mixture. Fry them until golden brown.

- Next, this beaten egg whites mixture has to be folded onto the prepared yolk mixture.
- Now, take a shallow bowl for flour.
- Take a skillet. Heat vegetable shortening over medium heat.
- Each stuffed pepper has to be rolled in the flour with tapping off excess flour and dipped into the mixture of eggs. Ensure both the sides are properly coated.
