| 4 tsp | salt for green chillies |
| 2 | fresh lemons |
| 1 tsp | salt for lemons |

1. Remove the stems and cut open one side of the chillies alone length, so that the chillies still remain whole. (Remember wash hands thoroughly after handling the chillies otherwise they leave a burning sensation on them.)
2. With a teaspoon fill the chillies with salt. The four teaspoonful of salt should be enough to fill all the chillies.
3. Slice the lemons into quarters, but do not cut them rit through. Leave about 0.5cm (V4 inch) at the bottom where : lemon is not cut. Ensure that the lemon still remains in one piece.
4. Now share the teaspoonful of salt between the two lemons.
