Here, in Chennai I don’t find such – less spicy chillies . So whenever someone visit Gujarat from my this family , I make sure my loved chillies are get parcelled.

I have updated this post with new pictures and some tips …

Sharing here some notes for making and storing this pickle..

• Always use less spicy / no spicy chilli variety for better taste. Here , I have used VADHVANI variety .
• Salt and Lemon quantity should be on higher side, as it works as preservative in pickle.
• Pickle tastes best the next day , still if can’t control one can have it the same day.
• Always crush mustard seed splits and fenugreek seed split before adding. It may give bitter taste in mouth.
• One can avoid fenugreek seed splits in this recipe. But it gives lovely taste and I really like it.
• This pickle stays good for 2 to 3 months . If want more shelf life , soak the chillies in salt water , dry and then proceed. But in this procedure the chillies won’t be that much crispy and it turns soft.
• Always store in clean and air tight glass jar / container. Store in refrigerator .
• Always use dry and clean spoon for pickle.
