Notes

  1. You can reduce the number of green chillies if you wish to.
  2. You can add radish or mooli too to this pickle.
  3. I have added kasmiri red chilli powder and it adds a nice colour but not the heat.
  4. I have used raw carrots and chillies as it is an instant pickle.
  5. This recipe is perfect to suit my family's palate.
