I know this adds a lot of flavour and spice to any bland
meal. I have a good news to make them ready in a ziffy i.e. spray them with oil spray and microwave them for few seconds and hot crunchy chillies are ready. Try and
enjoy them.

Wow – I would love to try these. I have never heard of anything like this before.

Unfortunately I am unlikely to get the requisite sun here in the UK – do you think I could slowly dry these in the oven at a very low heat every day?

How long would they last for??

Thank you!

Shilpa: I think you can make it in oven on a low heat every day. But I don’t think it will last as long as the sun dried ones. As I haven’t tried this method, I don’t know much .

I discovered these lovely chillies in New Delhi once some years ago through my sister and I just love them. I thought they were made with joghurt. Thank you so much for such detailed description. I must try it out myself.

Since my friend from Sri Lanka, Kumi, introduced me to curd chilies, I just cannot get enough. Sometimes, I would snack on it just like that without even frying it!

The other day when I was in the US, I found a differnt kind in a store, these are stuffed with turmeric and gram powder I think. I haven’t tried them yet
