INSTRUCTIONS
Broil peppers 2 inches from heat for about 15 minutes, turning often, till all sides are blistered. Place peppers in a paper or plastic bag. Close bag and let stand about 10 minutes or till cool enough to handle. Meanwhile, make tomato sauce. In blender container combine undrained tomatoes, onion, bouillon granules, pepper and cinnamon. Cover; blend till smooth. Transfer to a saucepan. Heat to boiling; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Cover and keep warm over low heat while preparing peppers. Peel peppers; remove stems and seeds. Stuff each pepper with 1/2 cup of the cheese. Set aside. Slightly beat egg yolks and water. Add flour and salt; beat 6 minutes or till thick and lemon-colored. Beat egg whites till stiff peaks form. Fold yolks into whites. In a large heavy skillet heat 1/2 inch fat to 375 degrees. For each serving spoon about 1/3 cup egg batter into hot fat, spreading batter in a circle. Fry 3 or 4 at a time. As batter begins to set, gently top each mound with a stuffed chili. Cover with another 1/3 cup batter. Continue cooking 2 to 3 minutes more, till underside is brown. Turn carefully; brown second side. Drain on paper toweling; keep warm in 300 degree oven while preparing remainder. Serve with tomato sauce; garnish with snipped cilantro or parsley.
