Tips & Secrets
- Using spicy, long green chilies with firm skins is the absolute secret to a crunchy pickle.
- The addition of lemon juice not only provides tanginess but also acts as a natural preservative.
- Ensure the chilies are 100% dry before processing; moisture is the primary enemy of chili pickles.
- Coarsely ground mustard seeds (Rai) are essential for providing the signature pungent kick of North Indian pickles.
