This is a very easy north Karnataka style green chilli fry recipe and prepared using green chillies, coriander powder, cumin powder, turmeric powder, asafoetida, salt and lemon juice.

This is a very easy recipe, which you cn prepare in just 5 minutes. I have used less spicy green chillies here. However if the chillies are spicy, you can deseed them while slitting to reduce the spiciness. Also I have used lemon juice in this recipe, which you can replace it with either tamarind juice or amchur powder.
You can prepare this and store it for few days. And serve it with roti or chapathi or rice or curd rice or with any chats. You can find one more spicy red chilli chutney (ranjaka) on this website. You can also find many north karntaka recipes.
You can find many palya or stir fry recipes on this website like kosu or cabbage palya, thondekai palya, southekai palya, sorekai palya, bendekayi or ladies finger palya, bittergourd sweet curry, thondekai palya, Mixed vegetable palya, beans palya, badanekayi palya, Hagalakayi palya, Boodu kumbalakai or ash gourd palya and north karnataka special zunka vadi recipes.
