Meethi Mirchi

                
               
Everybody at my home loves to have mirchi ka achaar or stuff mirchi or chaunki vi mirchi with our meals.. And this meethi mirchi seemed to be a new entry in our menu.. Perfect taste, perfect blend of flavours and perfect sweetness.. Its going to be on our everyday menu now.. 

              I must mention one thing when it comes to the recipe.. The measurements are very accurate when it comes to making this recipe.. At first i was bit skeptical about the quantity of sugar being added, as my family likes it bit less sweet.. So i added 2tsp of sugar first, but then realised 3tsp was very perfect for the given quantity of mirchies being used... It got out a very precise taste in the dish.. Perfectly sweet, sour and spicy.. All flavours in a bite..
Next time would love to try this with jaggery instead of sugar..
