Sandgi Mirchi – Marathi Recipe

Instructions

• Let’s make masala for stuffing in chillies. In a blender jar take coriander seeds, mustard seeds, and fenugreek seeds.
• Blend it into a coarse powder. Do not make a fine powder.
• Take the blended powder into a dish.
• Add turmeric powder, salt, and asafoetida. Add oil and mix well.
• Take chillies and make a slit at the centre. Make a small cut near the stalk too.
• We have to stuff the chillies. Remove the seeds from the chillies.
• Stuff the masala in chillies. Pack it tightly by pressing really good.
• Dry these chillies under hot sun for 4-5 days.
• You also can dry these in the microwave if you don’t get the sun’s heat enough. You can bake the chillies in an oven at 100 Deg C or approximately 200 Deg F for 3-4 hours.
• These dry up in 3-4 hours. You can reduce the temperature to 90 Deg C too.
• On drying these chillies change their color. They turn white.
• You can use these chillies in tadka especially for dahi butti.
• They go well as a side dish when shallow or deep-fried.
