Chilli Pickle Recipe (Hari Mirch Ka Achar)
Ingredients
1.5 cups sliced green chilies I am using a combination of jalapeno peppers and serrano peppers – See NOTES on peppers
3 tablespoons mustard seeds
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon turmeric
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon onion powder or use 1/4 teaspoon asafoetida in place of garlic and onion powders
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons vinegar optional
1/2 teaspoon salt
Cooking Directions
Add the sliced chili peppers to a large bowl.
Lightly toast the mustard seeds, coriander seeds and cumin seeds in a dry pan over medium heat for 1-2 minutes, or until they become fragrant.
Grind the seeds into coarse powder in a spice grinder, or use a mortar and pestle. Combine the ground seed mixture with the turmeric, garlic powder and onion powder (or asafoetida, if using).
Add the seasoning mixture to a small pot along with the vegetable oil, lemon juice, vinegar (if using) and salt. Gently warm on medium heat just a minute or two (do not boil), then pour the liquid over the sliced peppers.
Cover and refrigerate at least a day to allow the flavors to mingle and develop. It can be eaten right away, if desired.
