A considerable increase in the cost of ginger and chillies, which have recently reached close to Rs 400 per kg in certain parts of India, has come to light in the wake of the recent uproar brought in by increasing tomato prices across the country.
While green chilly costs in Chennai stayed at Rs 100 per kg, they rose to Rs 350 per kg in Kolkata for both green chilies and ginger, according to a TOI article.

When prices for their chilies in the last harvest were negative, farmers in Andhra Pradesh switched to other crops. As a result, Karnataka is now the primary supplier of green chilies sold at the Koyambedu market.
There are several alternatives you may use as a result of the rapid increase in green chilly costs. Green bell peppers, which are the mildest peppers, are a fantastic option.
Another pepper that leans more towards the mild than the spicy, Anaheim peppers are widely accessible in markets.
Since red peppers are other chilli peppers that have reached full ripeness, they could be hotter.
Chilli powder is a spice that may be used in dishes as a superb alternative to green chilies. This spice, which is crimson in colour, is blended with cumin, oregano, garlic powder, and other spices to make the ideal flavour.
