Pickled Chillies
It was obviously not the only pickle we had in our home. All the pickles were never store bought, always homemade and we always had a variety of them. My middle sister is crazy about pickles, me not so much. I remember how she ate those pickles like it was dinner…Lol! Although I say I am not a pickle fan I do eat pickles. But I don’t have to have it. I can live without it. If I can get pickles made by someone else I don’t see the need to make my own. I find Indian pickles too complicated for me. Did I actually say that!!! I am kidding, this pickle was actually pretty easy to make. I did eat some too and it was totally delicious. Seeing it was so easy to make. Maybe as the years go by I may try a few more. For now I think this should satisfy everyone’s pickles cravings…haha!
How to make Pickled Chillies
According to my mum I had to steam the chillies in some water and vinegar for a few minutes first. I think this just speeds up the soaking process. Here is South Africa we have something called a pickle masala. It makes pickle making easy as you don’t have to blend a whole lot of spices together. However, for the sake of my international followers I have made this Pickled Chillies from scratch. I think it tastes amazing, even if I am not a pickle fan. My hubby couldn’t stop eating the Pickled Chillies. I had to ask him to stop eating them so I could have some left for my photos. I know that as Indians we have this habit of making tons of pickle all at once. For me personally that doesn’t work. What works for me is making them in smaller batches. My mother-in-law may disagree with this. Only because she sends my hubby pickles that he can probably eat for about 10 years. Luckily some of it can be frozen. So if you’re running out of pickles stop by at our place…Lol! If it’s made in small batches that way it’s eaten quicker and I don’t have to worry about it spoiling. Once it’s finished and by then I am bored with it anyway so I can make a fresh batch of something else. Yes, I know you’ve already gathered I am crazy. I am very much Indian, although some may disagree. I just don’t follow all the “rules”…Lol!
