Green Chili Pickle
June 16th, 2008 filed under Chutneys / Pickles, Vegan
Chili pickle is a great way to spice up your food. Those who prefer mild levels of spicing might find this too hot.
Ingredients:
- 20 green Serrano chili peppers
- 2 tablespoons coriander
- 1 tablespoon fennel seeds
- 1 teaspoon fenugreek seed
- 3 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon mango powder
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- 2 tablespoons oil, mustard oil preferred
Method
- Wash and wipe dry the green chilies. Make a vertical slit in the center of each chili.
- Take coriander, fennel, and fenugreek seeds and grind them coarsely. Heat the oil and mix all the dry ingredients together, add vinegar and mix.
- Fill the peppers with spice mix. Keep them in a glass jar and keep the jar in the sun for a day.
- Chili pickle can be refrigerated for about a month.
Variation
Instead of filling the whole peppers, chop them in about 1/8-inch pieces and mix-in the same spices.
Pl do more fresh vegetable pickles like with cauliflower, muli, & other veg. It will help us to learn & use veg in an interesting way & make eating Indian food enjoyable.
deepti Lemon pickles are the easiest one, use Lime instead of leamon. Take lime, and scrap their outer skin slightly, not too much. Then using knife make a deep cut on each lime and put them in jar. Now stuff the jar wiith salt so that half of the jar is looks filled with salt. Shake the jar so that all the lime loosk covered with salt. Now take some more lime and take out their juice. For 2 kg lime 500 ml lime juice should be enough. Pour this juice in jar and keep the jar in sunlight till you see height of lime in jar going down. Then you can keep inside room also and wait till color of lime turn brownish and they become soft. It should take quite a long time, patience is all you need. It taste great!!

Hello,
Iam going to make this achar but the bottle on the Kissan mustard oil says “for external use only” can we consume this oil? is it
safe to do so? Also, if so is there a process that needs to be done to use mustard oil? Can I use another type of oil instead? PLease

No, don’t use mustard oil that says its for external use.
