Do you consume raw green chilies with your meals?

....ah.......see just the thought of biting raw green chillies is making water come out of my eyes, nose and mouth .Ah, Dpk......here in Kerala we eat spicy food and raw green chilli is often ground with other ingredients while cooking and consumed.But no,I dont bite raw green chilli with my meals...But I do cut and add raw green chillies to salads,but meticulously remove them when consuming salad.......But meals without chilli is really blant.....And Dpk if you do not like chilli ,then you dont know what you are missing out....

Hi deepak how are u well, to be honest, 2-3 green chiliies are used in our day to day curry for smell and taste along with red pepper, as far as raw chilli is concern, well dont eat as much but with some dishes it look good. i like to have raw ginger, some raw chilli, friend oninin and some lemon with Haleem. In Dahi Bhale and Aalo chaney, little raw chilli taste good, and sure in some salads where u have boiled peam sweet pea, corns, macronis, it taste add. what u think and dont forget green chili pickle in vinegar as well as in mustard oild and if u have it with paratha, hmmm, sound yummy i think its mouthwatering now so i should stop it take care

Yes, Deepak, I do though I must admit that I search out the smallest and thinnest ones in my tub. You should see my hubby, he will take out the largest ones and in two bites, they are gone! Amazing! But yes, they add a zing to our food, especially if its bland. I love them most with a very simple combi meal which I make when I am lazy…rice, egg, potato all boiled together (the rice should be real soft and squishy), add some butter or ghee, salt and have it hot with green chillies. Its fast, yummy, nutritious and perfect for rainy days or cold weather.

Green Chillies.......lol........Hot Discussion..... No Deepak, I cannot eat raw green chillies. I don't know how people can it them raw. When I was in Gujarat, I saw people eating snacks which are already full of green chillies and plus they eat raw green chillies with it....I really don't know how. I tried once and I got non stop hiccups.....so I never tried again. I like to put some in snacks just to get some flavour. If used in limited quantity it really makes food very tasty. Also I like to fry green chillies sometimes in gram flour, but only after I take out the seeds which make them more pungent. As far as keeping the body warm is concerned, I think we have many other options for that.....

Deepak, what is going on? Now a day, you are busy with vegetable market, green chillies etc. Have you taken the home management (kitchen department) from your best half?(lol). For answering your question, no, I am not taking raw chillies. I may add 2-3 chillies while preparing curry. We are making spicy dishes so it is difficult to consume chillies with them. But I have seen many people (in north) taking chillies in raw form. I think they are habitual. I heard that green chillies won't make any problem in stomach. Consuming more quantity of red chillies may upset your stomach.

Hello my friend dpk262006 Ji, In our house, other than for fried item, we use fresh green chilly, we dress up especially Salad with fresh green chilly, it is better for health than dry powder. We get chlorophil in bonus and it never harms us. Also, dining table will have a special look. May god bless you and have a great time.

do u mean capsicum???.i do add those long slender green chillies while preparing food.i have seen our bai(maid)consuming raw chillies,seems they cant eat anything without raw chillies.seeing her,one i too tried to eat a little and i was whole day in the loo and i might have consumed about half a kilo of sugar.after that,i have never attempted to eat raw green chillies.

I'm Bengali and apparently we're famous for being able to eat hot food. I do like hot food and sometimes if it's not hot enough, I will nibble at some green chillies with my meal but try not to do this very often as it could be deemed as a bit insulting to the person who's cooked the meal - in other words, saying it's not tasty enough already. Enjoyed the discussion, nice one pal!

No, I don't consume raw green chillies with my meals. I don't really like HOT and SPICY food, so I'm not fond of those either. They truly said it's an excellent source of vitamins, but compared to burning my lips and throat, I'd rather get my vitamins in other sources less painful. Happy Mylotting!

I hate hot chilies I dont care what colour, shape or form they are. I have never liked them in fact I hate hot and spicy food. Almost all my family likes eating hot food even my son who is 5 likes a bit of hot salami or spicy food. I just cant stand it. It has a bitter taste and its uncomfortable to eat there is nothing in the taste that makes me like it and because I am not used to the taste after I eat it (by acident) I always have tummy acke.

I like to have raw chillies with my meals. Though I try to avoid it everyday as I had been suffering from piles some years back and eating green chillies often will only aggravate the problem. I enjoy green chilli pickle too. And my kids also enjoy the dark green chillies which are more pungent than the light green ones.

I don't care too much for spicy food but my husband does and he enjoys the chili peppers.. He also like the Chili Renello that he gets at El Chico's, not sure about the spelling.. When we go to a certain restaurant, they serve a bar that you can get chips, bean dip, cheese and salsa.. I make my own little party with mine and the salsa has the hottest little chilis in them, they burn your mouth, your tongue and your throat, but they are so good.. I end up eating too much of this one dish and it is because of the green chilies chopped up in it..

I do, i do. lol..it is an appetizer, I can't usually eat without it.lol...Makes the food tastier. Sometimes I add it to fish sauce or anchovy and ..yummy...it is a viand in itself. You should try it with any dish and it is savory. Cheers and God bless.

well i do..we have a type of cuisine here called bicol express and we use those long green chilies and that is one of the main ingredients of the cuisine, it is cooked together with ground beef and coconut milk and its weird but when it is cooked, the hotness of the chili is gone when cooked, it became sweet and of course a little bit spicy but not too much...but it is delicious and thanks for the info now i know i am eating right foods lol

Yes, sometimes we will buy raw green chilies to cook. However, it's not so often as here the food is mainly fresh and light. We don't often eat spicy food. I love China

Hi deepak! Yes, i do sometimes include raw green chilis when I am cooking or preparing some specific dish that needs some excitement. haha..I just made pickled vegetables yesterday and included some raw green chilis to spice the pickled vegetables. So hot and appetizing! haha.. Take care and have a nice day! lovelots..faith210

Hi Dpk, Oh I love spicy food and will often have chillies chopped up into a side salad on raw in a sandwich. I guess everyone has individual taste buds. I enjoy it. Huggles. Ellie :D

I add chopped green chillies into salads and raithas and sometimes into chutneys. But i use it in all my curries .It has its food values besides adding that extra spice to the meal.I know of many people who eat it raw along with rotis and rice.I personally find it difficult to eat it raw without mixing it with anything

Hello my friend. I do not eat raw chilies. I usually eat cucumbers,tomatos,and mushrooms in my salad.

I love raw green chillies with my food. It really spice up my meal. Try it.
