About Fried chilli

Fried chilli is a flavorful dish or snack commonly featured in South and Southeast Asian cuisines, particularly Indian, Thai, and Malaysian. It is made by frying fresh or dried chilies, often with oil, and sometimes seasoned with salt or spices. This preparation amplifies the chili's natural heat while adding a smoky depth. Depending on the recipe, additional ingredients like garlic, onion, or sesame seeds may be included for added texture and taste. While chilies are a rich source of vitamin C, antioxidants, and capsaicin — known for boosting metabolism and promoting heart health — frying can reduce their nutrient content and increase fat intake due to the use of oil. Moderation is key, especially for those sensitive to spicy foods or with dietary restrictions related to fats. Fried chilli is often used as a garnish, snack, or complement to enhance the flavor of various meals.
