Let's Cook

Step 1.
Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon vegetable or sunflower oil and swirl to coat the pan. When the oil is hot and shimmering, add 130g Padron peppers in a single even layer. Let them sizzle undisturbed for about 1 minute, then stir and continue cooking for 3–4 minutes total, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are slightly charred and blistered on all sides.

Step 2.
Transfer the charred peppers to a serving dish. Sprinkle evenly with 1 teaspoon chaat masala and ½ teaspoon salt. Toss gently to coat, then serve immediately.
