Anyone remember the taste of freshly pickled green chillies sold near Vadtal temple in Gujarat?? Just Ummmmm.....

This is my mom's recipe that makes the pickle taste close to the taste of Vadtal like pickled chillies. This brings me down the memory lane.....whoever ate these pickled chillies cherished the taste so much that they wouldn't leave without asking mom for the recipe!!

This definitely is not an instant pickle recipe and will require some time and prep but the effort is all worth it in the end!! Do give it a try....

Having said that, I would like to add that some Vadtal chillies are pickled in sour buttermilk but this recipe calls for lemon/lime juice

Recipe: My mom Seema Ramchandra
Prep Time: 7-8 days
Servings: Multiple

Ingredients:
Long green chillies (de-seeded)- 20-25
salt
turmeric
lemon/lime juice
split mustard seeds (yellow)
oil
jaggery/sugar (optional)

Tips:
1. If you like sour taste, add more lemon/lime juice when pickling
2. Dont add too much split mustard or else the pickle will become strong i.e. will have a prominent mustardy taste
3. During pickling with oil, if desired, jaggery/ sugar can be added.
