Green chili fry-A quick and delicious stir fried green chilies.
Green Chili Fry- As I have already mentioned earlier that I love making pickles and chutneys more then making daal and curries. Once in every week I make some fresh pickle or new variation of some fruit or vegetable chutney. There are so many pickle and Chutney jars in my refrigerator and pantry. My children are not a big fan of pickles like me but the chutneys are finished as soon as they are made 🙂
Green chili pickle is my favorite and I try making so many different versions of pickles with chilies .The Ginger chili pickle in lemon juice is the easiest and most frequent made . Stuffed Green chili pickle is my mom’s specialty and how much do I try but it never taste like hers. You can also try this Maharashtrian Green Chili Pickle which is slightly different then my regular pickle recipe.
Pickles are an integral part of our food .They can perk up any boring or simple food like the Moong Daal Khichdi, simple and easy Lauki ki sabzi etc. This Green chili fry or masala mirch is a quick fix recipe or can say an instant pickle . It is low in fat so can be easily packed in lunch boxes. This fried chili easily stays good for 2-3 days at room temperature so a good travel food.
Try making this chukki hari mirch (as we call it in my family )with mild green chilies if you don’t like too spicy food .

I love pickle and chutneys myself and have tried some of the beautiful recipes you’ve posted here. The Chhuki Mirch is an absolute hit with us and we will never be able to eat parathas without it again. Thanks for this amazing addition to our home!
