Quick To Make, Spicy and Tasty मिर्ची च भरित | Green Chilli Bharta/Raita

 

Hi.

Today I am sharing a very simple and yet very tasty preparation straight from my Granny’s kitchen. Yes, it was at her place that I tasted this first and was hooked to it instantly. The mere thought of this preparation can make my mouth salivate any time. I have always marvelled, that how in olden days with few ingredients in hand, such tasty preparations were made and this preparation surely falls in that category. It’s an instant hit with every one who have tasted it and surely loved by my family too. It’s a perfect delight for people who love spicy food.

 

This can be served as a side dish or a chutney or a spicy raita. I personally love to eat this with hot paratha and rice. S can finish one bowl all by himself. Since it is very simple and quick to make even beginners can try this. Whenever I want to make this along with the every day rice and lentils,  I keep the green chillies in the pressure cooker in a small bowl and pressure cook them and the remaining process is quite simple too….
