Preparation & Cooking
| Step | Instructions |
|---|---|
| 1 | Prepare the green chillies by washing and drying them thoroughly. Cut them into small, even pieces. |
| 2 | In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat the sunflower oil over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds to the hot oil. Allow them to crackle and release their aroma for about 30 seconds. |
| 3 | Once the mustard seeds are crackling, add the cut green chillies to the pan. Stir to coat the chillies in the oil and mustard seeds. |
| 4 | Sprinkle the turmeric powder, salt, red chilli powder, fennel powder, and coriander powder over the chillies. Mix everything well, ensuring the spices are evenly distributed over the chillies. |
| 5 | Cook the mixture for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chillies have softened slightly and the spices are fragrant. |
| 6 | Add the lemon juice and sugar to the pan, stirring to blend the flavors. Continue cooking for another minute, allowing the sugar to dissolve and balance the heat from the chillies. |
| 7 | Remove the pan from heat. Your Green Chilli Vegetable dish is ready to serve! |

Cooking Tips
