How spicy is Bhavnagri Green Chili compared to other chilies?

How do you cook or prepare Bhavnagri Green Chili?
They are most commonly used for making stuffed fritters (pakoras), pickles, or sautéed side dishes. Because of their thick skin, they hold up well to roasting, grilling, and deep-frying.
Can I eat Bhavnagri Green Chili raw?
Yes, they can be eaten raw in salads or as a crunchy garnish. If you find them too spicy, removing the internal seeds and white membranes before eating will significantly reduce the heat level.
How do you store Bhavnagri Green Chili to keep it fresh?
Store them in a zip-lock bag or an airtight container in the refrigerator's crisper drawer. For longer shelf life, remove the green stems before storing, as the stems are often the first part to develop mold.
How do you know if a Bhavnagri Green Chili has gone bad?
Fresh chilies should be firm, bright green, and have a glossy skin. If they feel soft or mushy, have dark spots, or appear shriveled and dull, they are likely past their prime and should be discarded.
