Ingredients

  • 30 chillies green chillies
  • 1 cup sour curd
  • 3 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • I took about 30 chillies which came around 1 cup. Slit open each chilli for the salt and curd to get inside, set aside.
  • Take curd in a wide mixing bowl. Whisk the curd well.
  • Marinate the chillies. Add salt and mix well.
  • Set aside overnight.
  • Then next day morning take the chillies and spread it in a plate and keep it under sun the whole day.
  • Then again take the chillies and soak it in curd.
  • Keep it marinated the whole day.
  • Then next day sun dry it.
  • Repeat this process for at least 4 days then sun dry it for a week atleast, depends on the sunlight you receive. It may look ripe after 3-4 days don’t worry just keep drying it in sun. I transferred to a plate after 3 days of drying. Sun dry it till its completely dry.
  • Then store in a airtight container and fry when you need it.
  • Heat oil in a tadka pan, once oil is hot add few chillies and fry till dark brown.
  • Serve Mor Milagai with curd rice!

Notes

  • If the curd is very thick dilute it little. I used homemade curd which was apt.
  • You can use any variety of green chilli. I used the long stout variety. You can even use thin variety.
  • Use a clean ladle to mix , don’t use your hands.
  • It is a must to soak it at least for 4 days so that curd and salt to get inside.
  • Store in airtight container and refrigerate it. You can even keep this up to a year .
  • While frying, once oil is heated up, lower the flame and then fry the chillies to avoid burning.
