Ingredients:
3/4 cup mustard oil
2″ piece ginger, ground
6-8 cloves garlic, ground with ginger
1/2 tbsp each cumin, fenugreek seed, mustard seed pounded
250 grams chillies, washed and chopped
1/2 cup vinegar
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 tsp salt or to taste
1-2 tbsp sugar
Directions
- Method:
- Wash and spread the chillies on a kitchen towel to dry. Once they are dry cut them into 1” pieces. Place in a bowl.
- Put the oil in a microwave-safe dish and microwave at 100% power for six minutes. Drop in the ginger garlic and seeds, and continue to cook at the same level for 3 min more.
- Add the chillies and cook another 2 min.
- Add the vinegar, turmeric, and salt. Cook at the same power level for 2 min or till the vinegar starts boiling. Reduce power level to 60% and cook another 6 min. Stir in sugar, dissolve and cook for 2 minutes more.
- Cool and bottle.
Notes
- This pickle improves with keeping, as it sits you will notice that the oil will come up to the surface and thus help to preserve the pickle.
- Choose medium spicy chilli which is long and thick. I choose Indian green chillies thick one which we generally use for pickles and fritters.
- If you are not comfortable with vinegar you can add the juice of 3 lemons instead. Finish pickle within a week then.
- Like all pickles make sure all the utensils you are using are dry. Sterilize the glass jar by boiling it in a hot water for a few minutes and let it dry completely before using it. This will increase the shelf life of the pickle.
