Challa Mirchi (Andhra Style Curd-Soaked Green Chillies)

Experience the authentic taste of traditional Andhra cuisine with Challa Mirchi from Bezawada Bites. Prepared using fresh green chillies soaked in curd and salt, these traditional Andhra-style dried chillies deliver a distinctive combination of tanginess, spice and irresistible crunch when deep-fried.

Challa Mirchi is a much-loved accompaniment in Telugu households. Traditionally prepared during summer, these chillies are soaked in curd and salt, dried thoroughly under the sun and stored for later use. When deep-fried, they turn wonderfully crispy and develop a delicious tangy, spicy and savoury flavour.

At Bezawada Bites, we bring this traditional Andhra favourite to your dining table, making it easy to enjoy the flavours of homemade cooking.

Traditional Preparation with Authentic Flavour

The speciality of Challa Mirchi lies in its traditional preparation method.

Fresh green chillies are carefully selected, soaked in curd and salt, and allowed to absorb the flavours. They are then dried thoroughly until they are ready for storage.

This traditional process gives the chillies their characteristic tangy and savoury taste.

When deep-fried in hot oil, they become crispy and crunchy while retaining their distinctive spicy flavour. The combination of curd, salt and green chillies creates a unique taste that makes Challa Mirchi different from ordinary fried chillies.
