I always prefer shopping fresh vegetables on my own,
but sometimes I do have to delegate it to my DH. He is ok, I would not rank him
bad, compared to some other spouses I know ;) but he would sometimes buy things
like 250g of long green chilies. He is one of those people who can eat raw chilies. But you can’t have them on a daily basis right? I only use green chilies to season curries or for salads, but what do you do with so much green chilies in fridge? If you get enough sun light you can also marinate them in yogurt and salt and sun dry, once it’s completely dried you can store them and
use as curd chilies.
Luckily he bought less spicy chili, so I made chutney
with them. I sauteed green chili, so it becomes much milder in spiciness. Added
dry roasted fennel and coriander seeds to infuse aroma and tamarind pulp to
balance all flavors with its tangy sour flavor.
Green chili chutney is such a versatile side dish, you
can spread it in your bread or wraps to make sandwiches, mix it with pasta, have
them with nacho’s, take it as a side for rice, or Indian crepes - dosa or
Indian rice cake –Idly.
