MIrchi ka salan- Best combination for Biryani Hyderabadi style

Green chili curry or Mirchi ka salan is very famous recipe in Hyderabad. It is a must for any dinner parties. Biryani is not complete with out it. I love this salan very much as it is easy to prepare and delicious in taste. Generally it is prepared with long finger peppers/ green chili that are available in India, they do not contain much heat. But here jalapenos are very very hot, I cried first time when I cut them. So please do not make this recipe with jalapenos. Serrano peppers are much better than jalapenos.
