Tangy Green Chili Pickle- chilies cooked with Indian spices and lemon juice to make a delicious and tangy pickle
Green Chili Pickle- Since childhood I love pickles more then vegetables and always have some pickle with all my meals.But I avoid store brought pickles as they have a high sodium content,so I prefers to make my own pickles and stock different varieties of seasonal and yearly pickles and chutneys .
My favorite among all pickles is green chili pickle, so makes many varieties of chili pickles. I learned this chili choori pickle from a Maharashtrian friend of mine,so today sharing her version of making Maharashtian tangy green chili pickle.
The lemon and chili pickle and this Maharashtrian chili pickle is my favorite ,and they are made in small quantity and used fresh,and the stuffed green chili pickle is made for the yearly stock.
