Green Chili Fry

    

     Ingredients:-

             Green chilies – 100 grams

             Besan (gram flour) – 1 teaspoon

o    Lime juice – 1/2 tablespoon

o   Salt – 3/4 teaspoon (adjust to taste)

o        Mustard seeds – 1 teaspoon

     Nigella (Kalonji) seeds – 1/2 teaspoon

o        Asafetida powder – a pinch

o        Mustard oil – 1 tablespoon

How to make green chili fry:-

·        Clean and wipe the green chilies absolutely dry.

·        Make a vertical slit in each chili.

·        Crush the mustard seeds coarsely.

·        In a pan, heat a tablespoon of mustard oil to smoking point.

·        To the hot oil, add asafetida powder, nigella (kalonji) seeds and coarsely crushed mustard seeds.

·        Set the heat to low, and let the seeds splutter for a few seconds.

·        Toss the green chilies in salt, and add them to the hot spiced oil. Move the chilies around so that they are coated evenly in the oil.

·        Cover and cook for 5-6 minutes, tossing the chilies every other minute.

·        Uncover the pan, scatter besan over the chilies. Stir and cook till the besan has soaked up the oil and browned.

·        Add lime juice, stir again and turn off the heat. When the green chili fry cools to room temperature, transfer to a clean, dry, non-reactive container.

·        Let green chili fry sit for at least a few hours before serving.

·        Green chili fry stays good for 2-3 days at room temperature.
