Spicy Green Chilies (Masala Mirchi)| Monica's Archives



Once I visited one of my friends for lunch. I enjoyed the lunch, as she had made many delicious dishes but masala Mirchi was outstanding. I took the recipe from her and have made it many times. If you love to have spice and crunch in your food, then this recipe is for you. It is a very easy and quick recipe that can be taken as a side dish. It goes well as a condiment with simple Indian meals like dal-rice, curd-rice, vegetable pulao and even with roti-sabzi. I used to even have them with pakoras. It also goes well with stuffed parathas or plain parathas.



Ingredients:
Green pickle chilies – 200gm
Amchur powder (Dry mango powder)
Red chili powder
Saunf (fennel seeds)
Heeng ( asafetida)
Salt
Mustard oil



Method:
·         Wash the chilies and wipe them using a cotton cloth.
·         Make a slit in the center of each chili using a knife.
·         Deep fry these chilies in mustard oil.
·         In a frying pan take some mustard oil, when moderately hot, add heeng, red chili powder, amchur, saunf, and salt. Then add fried chilies and stir a little, so that all masala is coated on the chilies.
Your spicy green chilies are ready. When cool, store in a container and refrigerate. These can be stored for 7-10 days.
Whenever you like to add spice to your food, you can enjoy these spicy chilies. I am sure you would love them. Do try and give your comments.
