2. To reduce the spiciness, proceed with removing the seeds from both red and green chilies. (If you prefer spicier version then you can leave it as it is)

3. You can also use Jalapeño peppers to make this recipe.

4. Do not, forget to squeeze generous amount of lemon, as it give nice tangy taste to the chilli fry.

5. Do not overcook the chilies to soft and mushy. Leave a bit of crunch to avoid it getting soggy

6. Any kind of pickle based recipes works best when we use Mustard oil. So, I would highly recommend to use it. But, in case if it is not available in your region, then proceed with regular vegetable oil.
