Big chili, or mota mirch, is a large, thick-skinned chili pepper with mild heat and bold flavor. Often used for stuffing, frying, or grilling, it's ideal for bharwan mirch or as a side dish in Indian thalis. These chilies have a fleshy body that holds stuffing and masalas well. Their flavor is rich without being overly spicy, making them suitable for a variety of family meals. Choose chilies that are glossy, green, and firm. Mota mirch is a popular choice in both traditional and modern Indian cooking for adding texture and mild spice.
