Ingredients
  • 3 Green chillies, thick one, less hot variety
  • Salt
  • Amchoor powder or chaat masala
  • Lemon/lime 1 small
  • For the coating:
  • 3 large potatoes
  • 3 bread slices
  • 2 green chillies chopped (Add less if you don’t it less spicy)
  • Salt as per taste
  • Cumin seeds 1 tsp
  • Chopped coriander leaves
  • Few mint leaves (optional)
  • Bread crumbs to coat (optional..I didn’t used any)

Preparation

  1. Rinse well and pat dry thick green chillies. Slit these all the way from Calyx to apex (top to bottom).Remove the vein with seeds.
  2. Sprinkle salt,amchoor powder and dash of lime/lemon juice, and set it aside for some time ( I prefer to keep these for 4-5 hours ).
  3. Meanwhile, boil, peel and mash potatoes (better grate these) making sure no lumps are there.
  4. Dip bread slices in water and squeeze well. Mash and add to the mashed potatoes.You can use bread crumbs instead .
  5. Add salt, cumin seeds, chopped chillies, coriander leaves and mint leaves (optional) and mix well.
  6. Divide the mixture into three , roll and flatten each portion. Cover each chilly with this layer and make sure you make a tight roll of it.You can roll these in bread crumbs or give and egg wash for that crispness.I baked without any crumbs or egg wash.
  7. Bake/grill the croquettes by placing these at equal distance from each other on a baking tray or non-stick tawa.
  8. Pour 1 tbsp oil over the croquettes and grill for about 10 minutes( time varies from M/w to M/w). Flip the sides and grill again for 8-9 minutes or till the croquettes appear golden in colour. If frying, simply fry in hot oil, over high flame for first few seconds and then on medium flame, till crust is golden brown in colour and the chilly inside is cooked .
  9. Serve immediately with Ketchup/yogurt dip or chutney of your choice.

postheadericon Indian style chili pickle

Recipe

 

Ingredients:

1lb mixed chili peppers (different stages of ripeness is fine)
½ inch fresh ginger, peeled and grated
1 tsp whole black mustard seeds, roughly ground in a mortar
Juice of 4 limes
1 tbsp wine vinegar
1 tsp sugar
¼ tsp cumin seeds partially ground
¼ tsp coriander seeds partially ground
½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
½ tsp turmeric powder
2 tbsp kosher salt (or other non-iodized salt. Sea salt works, but use less because it’s saltier)
~2 tbsp mustard oil
1 clove of garlic minced

Preparation:

Wash peppers. Slice in halves then discard seeds and ribs and stems. Lay them on a paper towel and let dry in the sun for a couple of hours.

Mix ginger, turmeric, mustard seeds, lime juice, vinegar, cumin and coriander seeds, sugar, and garlic. Add chili peppers and toss to coat. Pack chilies tightly in glass jar. Top with mustard oil. Leave it at room temperature for four days. Taste it. It should have a mellow flavor with a bit of a kick but none of the rawness of garlic, ginger or pepper. If the flavor is harsh, leave it out for another day or so. Transfer to the fridge and serve as a side for rice and beans or for any other Indian, Middle Eastern, or Morrocan dishes.
