(I prefer using mustard oil to have that authentic grandma taste of pickles,but you can replace it with olive oil)

Recipe

1.First step is to wash & pat dry all the green chillies,i let that dry over paper towel for about 1/2 hr at least so as to make sure they are completely dry,& there is no moisture left in them.
2.Next step is to slit  your chillies vertically from the sides so as to create a pocket to stuff in the spices.
3.Now time to prepare the spices,for that we need to grind the coriander seeds,fennel seeds & fenugreek seeds in the grinder.remember we need to grind them coarsely.

4.Once done now add dry mango powder,salt & turmeric to this coarsely grounded spices.

5.Heat the mustard oil in a pan,remember you need pretty hot oil,once the oil is pretty hot switch off the heat & now immediately pour this hot oil over the mixed spices,you'll see that the oil sizzles as you pour it over the spices.

6.Next is to mix properly all the spices,pour vinegar on top.
7.Now our spice mix is ready this we have to fill in the slit chillies.
8.Carefully fill this spice mix in the chillies,make sure you oil your hands before & try using a spoon so as to be safe,as chillies can be quite spicy,& make sure once you are done with the chillies wash your hands properly with soap.

9.Place the chillies in glass jar,now place the jar in sunlight for a day or two,if not just place the jar at room temp for 2 days,your stuffed chili pickles are ready to be served.

Spicy chili pickles are ready,these pickles are made just like my grandma used to make.i was feeling so nostalgic while making these & remembering her how she used to sit & tell all about pickles & the stories that go around with those pickles when she was a small kid herself.sometimes i miss her so much :(
