Green Chili Fry Recipe



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.
