:: How to make Green Chilli Pepper Pickle
1. Powder the sesame seeds finely and keep it aside.
2. Wash and slit the chillies into half, to 3/4th of its
length [do not cut it into two
half]
3. Soak the tamarind in 1/2 glass of warm water, extract a
thick tamarind juice.
4. Heat the oil in a kadai[vaanali] and add the mustard
seeds, when they splutter,
add the green chillies and saute it for 2 minutes, then
close the kadai with a lid
and keep the heat in medium. After 4 minutes the chillies
will start becoming
pliant. Now add turmeric, asafoetida, salt, sesame powder,
red chilli powder and
saute it well so that the masala gets mixed with the
chillies evenly. Add tamarind
water to it and close the lid and keep it for 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes, keep stirring it every 2 minutes so that
the contents do not get
burnt in the bottom of the kadai. After 15 minutes add
sugar and stir. When the
chillies get well cooked and soft the masala and the
tamarind water together
becomes a well mixed gravy and the oil starts floating on
top of the gravy. Now
remove it from the stove and serve it with plain rice,
chappatis, dosas, or curd
rice as a side dish.
Do not reheat. Store in air tight containers.
