Yesterday, we visited the local bhaji market (vegetable market) and were delighted to find an abundance of very fresh green chillies (mild spicy used to prepare mirchi bhaji). The vibrant green colour and crispy texture immediately caught our attention, and it reminded us of the flavours of Rajasthan.

Nostalgia took over as we recalled the flavourful “Green Chilli Ki Sabji” we often enjoyed there.

Without a second of thought, we decided to bring these fresh chilies home and prepare the recipe. The aroma of the masalas cooking with the chilies instantly transported us back to the rustic kitchens of Rajasthan, where this dish is celebrated for its bold and tangy flavours. It was a wonderful way to relive those cherished memories through food.
