#  Method Of Making...

1. Wash the green Chili well in an open water.

2. Pluck or cut the ends of green chili.

3. Wipe out them with a clean cloth.

4. Now spread them in a plate or a clean cotton cloth and place them in the sun light at least for 4 hours....so that all the moisture of green chili could evaporate.
It will maintain the self life of pickle.

5. Then make the cut marks in the green Chili from one end to another for stuffing the spices...
While making cut marks...the green chili should be joined not separated.

6. Now heat the Mustard oil in a pan and let it cool completely.

7. Meanwhile roast the fenugreek seeds in any pan or tava and grind it coarsely and take out in a plate.

8. Then take out the oil in a mixing  bowl and add all the spices of pickle.....as asafoetida, tumeric, Mustard powder, salt, fennel seeds powder ( saunf powder ), roasted fenugreek powder and tatri powder and mix well.

9. Now stuff all the green chili with this mixture and place them in an open glass bowl.

10. Toss them well after few hours or flip them with a clean and dry spoon.

11.  If possible...Place these Stuffed Green Chili Pickle bowl in the sun light for 3 days..covering it with a clean thin cloth and stir these green chilies two times in a day.

12. Now the tasty green Chili Pickle is ready to enjoy...just transfer it in a glass jar or cheeni mitti martvan.

# Things To Consider...

1. Avoid the tatri or lemon juice in the Pickle if you want the tight pieces of green chillies.

Because citric acid makes the Pickle soft but instant.

2. Use the pure Mustard oil in making pickles...it brings a nice taste and flavour.

3. Don't heat the oil to a smoking point... for a very nice fresh colour of green chili...
Just warm the oil and off the flame.

4. If you don't have sun light at your home..
Then after washing the green chilies.. either dry out the green chili under the fan or microwave it for 1 minute only.

The other Method is that...on the previous day after washing and drying out the green chillies with a clean cloth,  place them in a strainer.

And on the next day...make the pickle.

You will find the green chillies moisture less for the Pickle. 

5. You can enjoy this pickle for 10 days on the room temperature very easily...
because Mustard and tatri...both are natural preservative.

6.  Avoid the methi dana ( fenugreek ) powder if you want to use it from the first day....
It tastes very nice with a tangy flavour.

7. Take the ripe green chilies...if you want to store it for a long time....
Just heat 200 gram oil well and let it cool completely...
Then pour this oil in the Pickle and let the all green or red chilies dip in the oil.

8. Always use a clean glass jar or cheeni mitti jar for the all pickles.
