Notes
• If Bhavnagri Chilies are not available, then you Can use Jalapeno Pepper.
• You can store half fried chilies into the air tight container and then double fry it till golden brown before serving.
• You can use 1 tbsp lemon juice instead of Amchoor powder.
• I used Italian Green Cubanelle Chile peppers which is available in most of Walmart and Wegmans stores.
