Prepare the Green Chilies

Wash the green chilies thoroughly and pat them dry. Remove the stems and slit each chili lengthwise.

Grind the Spices

In a spice grinder or mortar and pestle, coarsely grind the yellow mustard seeds, nigella seeds, fenugreek seeds, and carom seeds. Do not grind them into a fine powder.

Combine Ingredients

In a clean, dry jar, combine the prepared green chilies, coarsely ground spices, turmeric powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of spices.

Add Oil and Mix

Pour the mustard oil over the chili mixture. Seal the jar tightly and shake vigorously until the chilies are completely coated with the oil and spice mixture.

Allow the pickle to cure at room temperature for 4 days, shaking the jar occasionally. After 4 days, you can store it in the refrigerator for longer preservation.

Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Best Green Chili Pickle

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of asafoetida (hing) to the spice mixture.
Use high-quality mustard oil for the best flavor and preservation.
Adjust the amount of salt according to your preference. Taste and adjust after a day of curing.
Sterilize your jar before adding the pickle to prevent spoilage. You can do this by washing it thoroughly with hot, soapy water, then rinsing it well.
