Green chilli chutney

By swasthi , on January 30, 2020, 31 Comments, Jump to Recipe

Hot and spicy green chilli chutney called as pachimirapakaya pachadi is prepared in many regions of andhra and especially in rayalaseema and guntur. First time when I heard it, i was surprised to know that people can eat a chutney made of only green chillies. For me it was a new thing and my mom never encouraged us to eat too much of green chilies as it could be bad for the stomach.

It’s been almost 2 years since I wanted to try this and finally I found out from my telugu friends here in Singapore.You can use this chutney instantly to give that extra spice or heat to any food you desire.

Whether it is for your bland soup or your everyday curries, once you finish cooking you can set aside your kids’ portion and mix this chutney to the rest.

I have been using this for raitas, sandwich,noodles, curries, omelet, fritter batters or dough (like ponugulu, cutlets etc). If you want to use this as a side to idli ,dosa read my notes at the end.

This is also useful to those where hot green chilies are not available much. Yes, there are places where hot green chilies are not available that easily around the year. In that case this can be prepared in large quantity and be freezed or refrigerated. You can use up while making curries.

To make green chilli chutney, i also used large bajji chilies to add flavor to the chutney since they are more flavorful and less hot. You can skip that if you don’t have.

I have used oil generously while frying, else the entire home would be filled with the fiery smell and flavor making everyone sneeze and cough around. So do use oil generously so that the chilies are well coated.

Note: Use this chutney in moderation. Green chilies can leave us with an upset stomach and reflux. Vinegar is used to give a good shelf life and a slight tang. If you do not like the smell you can skip.

Hi Amy,
I haven’t kept this chutney for very long anytime. But I know in India many people sun dry the green chilies for several days until they wilt and then make the chutney the same way I have shown here. They bottle the chutney and keep it in the cupboard for about 6 months. Probably you can make it that way.

My mum added lemon juice in the end(to the chutney) and give a tadka which will make it less spicy.

I really like this – so easy to make and very tasty.

I would like to know if it would freeze? I have a glut of green chillis and thinking I could freeze lots of this and use through the year?
