NOTE –
1-Prefer to use milder green chilies/serrano peppers/Bhavnagri mirch, to make this pickle.
2- If you’d like to make Stuffed Green Chilies/Masala Mirch, then you’ll like this recipe-Masala Mirch/Bharli Mircha
3-Addition of oil is optional but oil enhance the taste and also act as a preservation thus increase the shelf life of the pickle.
