Green chilli pickle is a vibrant and spicy condiment that enhances the flavour of various dishes in Indian cuisine. Made from fresh green chillies, it boasts a bold and tangy profile, achieved by adding vinegar. The chillies are mixed with aromatic spices such as mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds, turmeric, and nigella seeds, often in a base of mustard oil, which adds richness and helps preserve the pickle.
The preparation process might include allowing the pickle to ferment for a few days, deepening its flavour and thoroughly melding the spices. The resulting texture can range from slightly crunchy to soft, depending on how long it has been stored. Green chilli pickle is versatile, serving as a spicy accompaniment to rice, roti, paratha, and various main courses, or adding a kick to sandwiches, salads, and snacks.
Properly stored in a sterilized jar, green chilli pickle can last several months, with the oil and spices acting as natural preservatives. This condiment is cherished for its ability to bring a burst of heat and complexity to any meal.
