Dip in batter and fry in hot oil or lard until golder brown. Drain and serve. May be garnished with green chili sauce if desired. To make batter, combine flour, baking powder, salt and cornmeal. Blen milk with egg;then combine milk and egg mixture with dry ingredients. Add more milk if necessary for smooth batter. Using a spoon, dip stuffed chilies in batter.
