If we add Indian Blackberry (Jamun) vinegar to it, will the taste be enhanced and will it stay preserved for a longer time period?

Can i mix the ginger and garlic as paste together and then fry in oil ?
You can try but I feel in this way, it adds some texture to the dish.

Regular dry red chilli only.
Can we add kashmiri chilli , but it tastes different, or can use byadgi Mirchi?
You can use any chillies.
Hi Padhu,
I tried this recipe today, came out well but little much of hot. im planning to take half cup red chilis next time, but then the quantity will be reduced so can u suggest any other idea to adjust the spicyness?
Schezwan chutney is usually spicy. Add less quantity when making noodles or fried rice.
