Bhavanagari Green Chilies Pickle (Instant)

4.30 from 3 votes

Indians love their green chilies with food right from their first meal of the day i.e. Breakfast. Our staples like poha, upma, paratha or chutneys for idlis & dosas are incomplete without the right kick of spice. This recipe of instant green chilies pickle is what I usually make every monsoon season for three reasons (1) I get fresh Bhavanagari Green chilies in the market (2) the best way to increase immunity from constant weather change (3) Non-spicy – so husband enjoys. These variety of chilies (though they contain seeds) are completely non-spicy. They are the best option to add in dals or stuffed with chickpea flour & spices to make stuffed mirchi (chili) that can be enjoyed with hot dal rice & some clarified butter or ghee drizzled on top.

  • The green chilies will burst a bit when you add them to the hot pan / kadhai / wok. Reduce the flame & give it a good stir in between.
  • You will notice after 5-7 mins of cooking time that the chillies turn a bit soggy. Ensure the flame remains low else the chilies might burn or char on the outside.
