The hot Indian summer season requires cool and comforting foods. Therefore, many people enjoy a simple bowl of curd rice. However, you need a crunchy side dish to complete this meal. Consequently, you must try our famous Majjiga Mirapakayalu. We make these traditional sun-dried chilies with great care and patience. Furthermore, they provide the perfect salty crunch for your lunch.

How We Make Majjiga Mirapakayalu

We follow a very old and traditional recipe. First, our team selects fresh and thick green chilies from local farms. Next, we carefully slit each chili down the middle. Then, we soak these chilies in thick, sour buttermilk. We also add a perfect amount of natural sea salt. As a result, the chilies absorb all the wonderful tangy flavors over several days.

The Traditional Sun-Drying Process

We rely entirely on the hot summer sun for this process. First, we lay the soaked chilies out on clean mats. Next, we dry them completely during the daytime heat. Then, we soak them again in the buttermilk overnight. We repeat this process until the chilies become completely dry and white. Consequently, they develop an amazing, long-lasting crunch.
