Spicy Stuffed Green Chilies

Spicy Stuffed Green Chilies – A Flavorful Side Dish

Today, I’m sharing a recipe that isn’t meant to be eaten alone but instead enhances the flavor of any meal it’s paired with. These stuffed green chilies add a burst of spice and tanginess, making every bite more delicious.

Let’s start _

Ingredients:

Fresh green chilies (preferably thick ones)

4 tbsp coriander powder

1 tsp dry mango (amchur) powder

½ tsp turmeric powder

Salt to taste

1 tbsp crushed garlic

1-2 tbsp oil (for mixing and frying)

Juice of 1 lemon

Instructions:

Prepare the Chilies
Start by washing the green chilies thoroughly and drying them completely. Then, make a single slit lengthwise on each chili and remove the seeds carefully. Set them aside.

Make the Spice Mix
In a bowl, combine coriander powder, amchur powder, turmeric, salt, and crushed garlic. Add a little oil and mix well to form a coarse paste.

Stuff the Chilies
Fill each slit chili with the prepared spice mixture, pressing gently to ensure the filling stays inside.

Fry the Chilies
Heat some oil in a pan and place the stuffed chilies in it. Cook on low-medium heat, turning occasionally, for about 5 minutes until they soften and slightly char.

Final Touch
Once cooked, transfer the chilies to a plate and drizzle fresh lemon juice over them for an extra tangy kick.

And that’s it! Your spicy stuffed green chilies are ready to serve. These pair wonderfully with dal-rice, parathas, or any Indian meal. In my home, they are an all-time favorite, and I always keep a batch ready. Try them out and let me know how you like them!
