Mirch ke tapore

Well since the blog name is tadka I thought of giving it a spicy start. So here is my fav chilli recipe for you:
Thick green chillies - 10 (not the really spicy ones) - chop in to thick rounds
Saunf (Fennel seeds) - 1 tbbsp
Oil - 2 tbsp
Ginger - julienned 1 tbsp
turmeric - 1/2 tsp
sugar - 1/2 tsp
Aamchur (dry mango powder) - 1tsp
salt and red chilli powder to taste

Heat oil and add the fennel seeds, after stirring a bit add ginger and cook for a minute. Add the
chillies and cook for another 2 minutes or till you can smell the aroma of chillies cooking. Add the remaining spices and cook for another minute. It's ready to eat :)
It's almost like a pickle and can be eaten with anything.

  6. Hi SA, you can omit it in that case. Try adding a pinch of Jeera (cumin seeds) or kalaunji (black onion seeds) instead. The flavor would be different, but still workable :)
