Notes

  • If Bhavnagri Chilies are not available, then you Can use Jalapeno Pepper.
  •  You can store half fried chilies into the air tight container and then double fry it till golden brown before serving.
  •  You can use 1 tbsp lemon juice instead of Amchoor powder.
  • I used Italian Green Cubanelle Chile peppers which is available in most of Walmart and Wegmans stores.
