Pickled Green Chilly

Way back in early nineties, while I was a teacher in Kerala school, Canning Road, our then vice principal Rajamma Teacher, taught me a recipe, which later on I used umpteen times, and still is a favourite within my circle of friends. I wish to share the recipe on this platform.

Ingredients:--

  1. Fairly hot green chillies----250 grams
  2. Sesame/Til oil----  half cup.
  3. Turmeric powder---1tsp.
  4. Fennel seeds/ saunf.(coarsely powdered)...2 tbs.
  5. Mustard seeds/sarso(coarsely powdered)---1 tbs.
  6. Vinegar----1 cup
  7. Salt to taste(on the higher side).

Method:---

  1. Slit the green chillies in the centre, smear turmeric powder and some salt. Keep aside for half an hour.
  2. Heat oil in a kadhai, bring down the flame to the lowest level  and add the powdered fennel seeds and mustard seeds. Take care not to burn the spices.
  3. Stir for a minute or two, add the chillies. Stir for a few minutes, check for salt and if needed add more and switch off the flame when u see a change in the colour of green chillies.
  4. Keep aside till completely cooled.
  5. Add vinegar and keep preserved for a week or so and start using. Tastes best with paranthas
