Green Chilli Pickle -North Indian Style

• 7 green chillies wholes
• 1 teaspoon brown mustard seeds rai
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon fenugreek seeds methi
• 2 teaspoons fennel seeds saunf
• 2 teaspoons chilli powder
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon mango powder amchoor
• 2 teaspoons salt
• mustard oil only

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. 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. Using a mortar& pestle coarsely grind the mustard seeds, fennel seeds and fenugreek seeds.
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. Now, I like to cut the stuffed chillies into 2-3 pieces.You can keep them whole if you like it that way.
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.
