Prepare the Chili Marinade

Dry Roast and Grind the Spices
- Heat a dry pan over medium heat. Add mustard seeds, fennel seeds, and ajwain seeds. Dry roast until fragrant and slightly browned, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Let cool completely.
- Grind the roasted spices coarsely using a mortar and pestle or a blender. Don't pulverize into a fine powder.
Combine and Preserve
- Add the coarsely ground spice blend to the marinated green chilies. Stir in the cooled mustard oil. Mix well, ensuring all chilies are coated.
- Transfer the mixture to a clean, sterilized glass jar. Seal tightly and place it in direct sunlight for 2-3 days, shaking the jar gently once a day.
Store and Enjoy
- After 2-3 days, move the jar to a cool, dark, and dry place. Your green chili pickle will continue to develop flavor over time. Store in an airtight container and enjoy with your favorite dishes!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Best Green Chili Pickle:
- Choose the right chilies: Select firm, vibrant green chilies for the best flavor and texture. Adjust the quantity according to your spice preference.
- Sterilize your jar: This is crucial for preventing mold and ensuring your pickle lasts longer. Wash the jar thoroughly with hot, soapy water, then rinse with boiling water before filling.
- Sunshine is key: Direct sunlight helps to ferment the pickle and enhances its flavor. Ensure the jar is exposed to sunlight during the initial fermentation period.
- Patience is a virtue: Allow the pickle to age properly for optimal flavor development. The taste will improve significantly over a few weeks as the spices meld together.
