Green Chillies are the life and soul of a hearty Indian meal. You don’t necessarily have to overdo it until your mouth is on fire and smoke out of ears but without a touch of chilli, Indian dishes seem incomplete. I can’t think of Indian cooking without a dash of green chillies. Slit, sliced, chopped or diced depends on the dish and flavour one wants to achieve.

Fresh, slender Indian green chiles (can be puréed for chutneys, thrown into stews, or eaten raw as a condiment, to add fierce, herbal heat to foods. Select chiles that are bright green, plump, and unbruised.Chillies are used with or without stalks. Green chillies are available fresh, dried, powdered, flaked, in oil, in sauce, bottled and pickled. It spices up a bland meal.
