Vadhwaani Marchaa Na Athaanu is basically a pickle made from a particular type of green chillies. Vadhwaani Marchaa are a type of very less spicy variety of green chillies coming from Gujarat which are also called as Sambhariya Marcha. These chillies are slightly dark green in colour and are of the same regular size like other chillies. I assume that these chillies are available mostly during winters as I haven’t noticed them in the market in the other seasons.

I have a habit of observing all that the vegetable vendor displays for sale and enquiring about anything that’s new to me. It was the same in this case where, as I was enquiring about these chillies, a young Gujarati lady standing beside me uttered something! Immediately I asked her if she used these chillies and requested her for the recipe.

So, she gave me this awesome and easy recipe very happily and discussed everything about it with me. I have made a slight change in the recipe by adding asafoetida and black salt!
