Fried Long Hot Peppers with Ajwain Seeds
Fried long hot peppers with ajwain seeds is the perfect spicy and savory condiment to any spicy lentil or curry dish!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 4-6 long hot peppers
- 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
- ½ teaspoon ajwain seeds
Instructions
- Add oil to frying pan, heat to medium high heat. (Use a frying pan that you can cover with a lid, in case the oil splatters during frying.)
- Add the long hot peppers to the oil carefully. Fry 30 seconds, rotate each pepper to get an even fry. Once all sides are blistered, remove to a paper towel lined dish.
- Immediately sprinkle coarse sea salt. Rub the ajwain seeds between your fingers to help release their oil and then sprinkle over the peppers.
- Serve once cooled. Be careful of the seeds of the long hot peppers as you eat, some can be super hot, some are more mild!
Notes
You can also slice these peppers up for easier serving! Sliced long hot peppers make a great topping for sandwiches as well!
