Green Chilli Pickle -North Indian Style

1. 1

   Wash the green chillies thoroughly & remove stems from them.Pat the chillies dry in paper towel and make sure all moisture is removed from them.This is absolutely necessary else the pickle will turn bad.

2. 2

   Using a sharp knife , make a lengthwise slit in all the chillies but not all through. Next remove/scoop all the seeds and veins from inside of the chillies.Reserve these to be used for making the stuffing.[You can use round tip of your peeler to do so]

3. 3

   Using a mortar& pestle coarsely grind the mustard seeds, fennel seeds and fenugreek seeds.

4. 4

   In a small bowl, add all the spices to the scooped veins & seeds and mix well to make a masala .Next, stuff all the green chillies with the this masala .You will have some left over masala.Dont throw it.

5. 5

   Now, I like to cut the stuffed chillies into 2-3 pieces.You can keep them whole if you like it that way.

6. 6

   In a dry glass container with a tight lid, put the cut stuffed green chillies.Tip in the leftover masala into the container.Next, pour mustard oil into container till the chillies are just covered.
