Let's learn the quick recipe without further delay.

Easy Method for Making Oil-Free Chilli Pickle

Step 1:

First, take 250 grams of medium-sized, thick green chillies. Wash them thoroughly with clean water and then dry them thoroughly with a cloth to remove any moisture. Then, cut off the stems and remove them. Now make a small incision lengthwise in each chili, making sure it remains connected from front to back so that the spices can be filled inside.

Step Two:

Now prepare the pickle masala. For this, add 1 teaspoon fennel seeds, 1 teaspoon cumin seeds, 1 teaspoon fenugreek seeds, and 2 teaspoons yellow mustard seeds to a pan. Lightly roast all the spices over low heat to release their aroma. After roasting, let them cool and then grind them coarsely in a mixer. Be careful not to grind the spices too finely; a slightly coarser mixture will enhance the flavor.

Step Three:

Now, take 8-10 lemons and extract their fresh juice. To this, add 1 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon Kashmiri red chili powder, the prepared pickle masala, a little nigella seeds, and salt to taste. Also, mix asafoetida and black salt in a plate and apply a little bit of it to the chilies, so that each chili is infused with the spices.

Step Four:

Now thoroughly mix all the chopped chilies with the lemon and spice mixture. Then, place the chilies in a clean, dry glass jar. Cover the jar and let it sit for 24 hours. After a day, your oil-free chili pickle will be ready to eat. You can easily store this pickle outside.

Once you've tasted this method of chili pickle, you'll want to make it again and again. This oil-free chili pickle enhances the flavor of your food many times over. You can enjoy it with roti, paratha, or puri, and its spicy flavor will make you lick your fingers every time.
