Can u add lemon juice instead of vinegar and hoe much??
Thanks for the recipe; I was wondering if you can use frozen and small size green chillies?
Can I add nimbu instead of Vinegar,if I dont have at home?
Thanks Brittney & Anees for nice comment. Yeah, its hot but delicious. Thanks Nikki & Puja, you may use lemon but it will not help preserving for a long time. You can use acetic acid instead.Thanks Ragini, You can use frozen and small green chillies but it would be a little less tasty than fresh chillies.

Anyways thanks for the Google remark and love shown for chillies.
