Stuffed Red Chili Pickle,Bharwa Laal Mirch ka achar- Tangy spicy stuffed red chili pickle specialty from the city of Banaras

Stuffed Red Chili Pickle/ Laal Mirch ka bharwa achar is among the most popular and traditional pickles. It is also very popular as Banarasi or Patna Laal Mirch ka achar. During winter we get very good quality of red chilies for making pickles. This pickle is prepared by making a spicy tangy masala mix and then chilies are either slit lengthwise and then stuffed or the top crown is removed and then the spice mix is stuffed or pushed with the help of a small spoon.

Try using mature red chilies for making this pickle . In India we get thick red chilies but here we can’t get that thick chili so I made with normal sized red chilies. If done properly this pickle easily stays for years or can say stays good till it last. The spices used are the same as we add in mango pickle just the ratio differs.

How to make Stuffed Red Chili pickle

First of all wash the chilies properly and then wipe them well. Then spread the chilies on a cloth and keep in sunlight for an hours so all the water dry up completely. The seeds can be removed if you don’t prefer too much heat in your pickle or just mix the seeds with the stuffing masala.

Now sun dry or dry roast the spices and grind to make the masala for stuffing. Make sure to use mustard oil for the authentic flavour. After stuffing the red chilies with the spice mix the chilies are stored in a glass jar and then cover with a muslin cloth and keep in sunlight for few days or till the chilies soften a bit

The chilies can be stuffed in three ways-

  1. Easy way– slit them on one side and stuff the masala like the way I did this time.
  2. The traditional way – Chop and remove the crown of the chilies and scoop out the seeds with a small spoon to make an opening and then stuff the masala by pushing with a thick round stick or with a small spoon . Do which ever way suits you.
  3. Instant way– Just chop the chilies in small roundels and mix with the spices and oil and fill in a glass or ceramic jar.

This stuffed red chili pickle / Patna Mirch taste awesome with poori, paratha ,mathri rice every thing. You can add the same masala in the aloo chokha , litti , aloo paratha stuffing or spread in your normal paratha to make it more delicious.

    Sounds nice… and I have nice red chillies from my garden… the only problem is that we have not much sun and the temperature outside are dropping… will it work if I just leave it with a loose lid for 15 days or so…

    U said cover with Muslin cloth. Can I put a lid on it. It rains sometimes or my sprinklers might ruin the Achaar.

    Thanks you Madam for sharing your traditional food recipes. This is one amazing recipe. I can hardly wait for the pickles to get ready to eat. There is only one problem. I have double the masala and have to run and buy more of the chillies tomorrow.
