Green Chillies Pickle 'Zasar Pima"

Green chilli pickles is so easy to make, so versatile and makes a great condiment to have in your fridge. Here using finger chillies (so readily available now in most supermarkets) I have an old recipe brought back to life. Let's get in a pickle with my "zasar pima" #2flavours

Ingredient

Food ration :

4-6 servings

Cooking time :

5 minutes

250 gms

Finger green chillies

1 Tbs

Pickle spices (Brinda's own spice blend)

2 Tbs

Coarse salt at least

1/2

Lemon or lime - cut into strip

2 cloves

Garlic - thinly sliced

2 Tbs

Cider vinegar

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Wash the chilli in cold water. Drain them well on a paper towel. Making sure they are nice and dry.

* Step 2

Cut the chilli into small pieces. You can do that by wearing gloves. (Cautious).

* Step 3

Add plenty of coarse salt, 1-2 Tbs sugar to the chopped chillies, this will start the pickling process. Add the lemon to it. Leave covered on the table top for at least 1 hour.

* Step 4

Prepare the spices, in a small bowl add the spice mix. Add a little water, vinegar and mix into a paste.

* Step 5

After the chillies had been pickled in the salt, drain them removing any excess water.

* Step 6

Now lets bring the flavours together. Heat some oil in a pan, turn the heat completely down or turn it off if you have to.

* Step 7

Add the sliced garlic and pickle spice mix to the hot oil. As it sizzle in the hot oil, add the chillies and mix all. Turn the heat back on just for a few minutes to warm all the ingredients together.

* Step 8

Adjust oil and vinegar, add more if it looks too dry. Remember you do need the liquid to accentuate the flavours and for the pickling process to continue.
