- In a deep-fat fryer, electric skillet or possibly deep, heavy skillet, begin heating oil for frying. Combine flour with baking pwdr, salt and cornmeal. Blend lowfat milk with Large eggs and combine with dry ingredients. Stir to a smooth batter, adding a little extra lowfat milk if necessary so which batter will cling to chilies. Set batter aside.
- Open small slit in each chili below stem and remove seeds. Fill each chili with cheese (or possibly first a bit of shrimp on the bottom of each chili), with care to avoid breaking the chili. Dip stuffed chili into batter using a large spoon. Fry in warm fat (420 degrees) till batter is golden, about 4-5 min. Drain on paper towels. Serve with chili sauce.
- Makes 6 servings.

Place pods in blender container with 3 peeled cloves of garlic and a small amount of boiling water. Whirl to make a thick red paste.
- Gradually add in about 2 to 2 1/2 c. boiling water and 1 tsp. salt, and blend till smooth.
