Does look very nice.  Sizzling green chilli sounds like a plan.

What a great find on the net a bit of light reading etc for me very pleased!!

They even have an Rocky Mohan - famous blogger chef - even appeared in Rick Steins India cooking a Korma which is in the Rick Steins book but he is cooking a Bengali Malai Chingri which looks ok.

best, Rich

Made the Nepalese potato dish earlier (aloo ko achar), tasted great! 
Not to spec as i didnt have any Timur or Szechuan pepper, so i used a pinch of ground black pepper and a pinch of ground fennel. I do have aniseed (as mentioned in the above video as a suitable replacement), but need to use up some fennel seed before i open a new packet.
I didnt have any fresh green chillies, so rather than just make a methi seed tarka, i added some whole dried kashmiri chillies.

What a revelation and a great snack! ;D

They puffed up in the hot mustard oil in seconds and remained like that.  Crisp and melt in the mouth.
I'll make the dish again to spec, but will definitely be making more of these crispy fried whole dried chillies!   :)
