It amazes me how each and everyone of us can brilliantly use the same ingredient in a 1000 different ways … … so I thought of exploring it further.

Each week we will have a certain spice/herb/fruit/vege …please tell us how you use the ingredient of the week in day to day life.

Have a good day :lifey:

The only thing I use whole red chillies is for tarka in daals or Pakora Kurri..

Some people burn it for nazar utarna etc..

You can crush them and keep them ready to throw in your dushman's or burgular's eyes :D

^ :omg: … yeah I keep them and black pepper in my purse too … and keep getting it in my hands and then the nose :omg:

I also use them in kababs :@: … and chicken karhai too …:yummy:

But elders told me its not very healthy to have whole/crushed red chillies coz their seeds are quite hard to digest and can get stuck to the stomach lining eventually causing ulcers :no:
