Ingredients

  • 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.
