This one is for all Chilli Lovers!!

CHILLIES and Spicy food are my lifeline and that´s what makes me even more excited getting this recipe to you.

Now, everyone has those days where you take efforts and yet your cooking turns out to be taste-less or even those where you are bored to cook a whole meal and want a shortcut. Combination of all such days in my life, got me to this recipe.

This fresh chilli pickle recipe is an instant solution to spice up all those taste-less and boring food. It is also an easy go along side-y for any meal.

Pickles remind me of days back in India, where they are made in bulks and consumed round the year. This pickle making process involved most of the family members helping out and having fun conversations. The most candid moments were the ones, while making the raw mango pickle, where we, children use to end up eating most of the raw mango slices.

This mildly spicy, tangy pickle recipe requires very few ingredients which are mostly available in our kitchen and the recipe takes very less time to come together.

Yum

Notes

Fresh Chilli Pickle recipe can be easily modified with any kind of chillies.

Basically, this recipe works for all kinds of chillies. So, you can use the kind you admire. Just bear in mind, the spiciness will differ accordingly.

To reduce the SPICY quotient of the pickle-- add more salt and lemon ( you could double the quantity of lemon and salt).

Or you can remove the seeds of chilli which will effectively reduce the spiciness.

This pickle will last 5-7 days when stored in refrigerator.

For storing it even longer-- Use vinegar (add few drops while adding lemon and salt)

You can even add Ginger or fresh Turmeric to this recipe and have a rich gingery chilli pickle. Alternatively, you can add carrot, raw mango to this recipe and have a mix pickle. Variations and possibilities are infinite. But my favourite is the one I shared here.
