Hari Mirch ka Achar or Instant Green Chili Pickle is love. Made with fresh green chilies instantly makes them a great addition to the meal.
I have memories of my father eating raw chili daily with his food and I used to wonder as a child how he managed to do it.
Today I want to start the same habit but find it difficult to eat raw chili. Instant green chili pickle makes a close alternative. It makes me feel close to my dad.
Oh, how I miss you, papa! There would never be enough words.
After using some recipes online and some of my instincts developed over all these years, I came up with this recipe. When I make sometimes I use the proportion given in the recipe, else I have even mixed leftover spice powder from red chili pickle. Both work well, whichever you prefer, you can use.
Perfect with food, easy to make, and enjoy the quick tang.
