Good morning, is the green chili a jalapeño? I never know when recipes call fo red chili peppers and green. Thanks
Geetha Priyanka
Both are from the same family and you can swap jalapeno for green chillies in any recipe. The only difference is that jalapenos are significantly hotter than green chillies. So you may have to adjust the quantity to suit your taste. Again, red and green chilli peppers have a varying degree of heat and pungency. Hope this helps.

This is such an easy and quick dish. I made it yesterday and turned out super tasty. Everyone loved it. Cauliflower was softer than I prefer so next time I will cut down the cooking time.
