    How to proceed
  1. Slit each chilli lengthwise taking care that they remain joint at the stem. Remove all seeds and veins.
  2. Combine the chillies with 1 teaspoon oil and mix well so that the oil coats all the chillies. Place them on a microwave-proof plate.
  3. Place a glass of water in the centre of the microwave along with the chillies to prevent them from getting wrinkled. Microwave on HIGH for 2 minutes. Keep aside.
  4. Combine the remaining oil, mustard seeds, nigella seeds, fenugreek seeds and asafoetida in a microwave-proof bowl, cover with a lid and microwave on HIGH for 1 minute.
