Sliced bhavnagri green chillies have been stuffed with roasted fennel seeds powder along with other pickling spices like turmeric powder and chilli powder and lemon juice. You can serve this masala bharwa mirch immediately or mature it for at least 2 hours before serving.

To make mustard chilli pickle, place the fennel seeds in a broad non-stick pan and dry roast them on a medium flame for 2 to 3 minutes. Cool slightly and pound them in a mortar and pestle (khalbhatta) to a coarse powder. Combine this fennel seeds powder and add all the other ingredients and toss well. Stuff the bhavnagri chillies with this mixture using a spoon. Keep aside for 2 hours and then serve. You can store it in an air-tight glass jar. It stays for upto 3 months when refrigerated .

This oil free Indian pickle, not only is devoid of fat but also has a restricted quantity of salt. So it is a healthier option to devour with your favourite Indian meal. However, we do not recommend this pickle on a daily basis in huge quantities.

Tips for bhavnagri chilli ka achar. 1. While buying fresh chillies look for crisp unwrinkled ones. Make sure they are bright and unbroken. 2. Cut them into thick roundels so stuffing them becomes easier. 3. IF you are not comfortable stuffing the chillies with a spoon, you can stuff with your fingers as was done traditionally. 4. Store the pickle in a glass jar only. Storing in steel canisters or jars can change the taste of the pickle.

You can also try other oil-free pickles like Crunchy Vegetable Pickle or Baby Mangoes in Brine.
