Chilli Achard

Preparation Time: 10min

Difficulty: easy

Ingredients :

10 cloves garlic
1 green pepper
½ teaspoon of vinegar
2 tablespoons whole mustard
2 tablespoons Methi (fenugreek) whole
1 tablespoon turmeric (saffron)
2 tablespoons tamarind paste
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons oil
400g green chillies (wash and drain and cut into 1 cm pieces)

Preparation of the Achard peppers:

Put the first 9 ingredients in a grinder.

Then pour the dough into a container and add the oil and the chopped peppers.

Mix well and serve.

Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight.

Ideal as an accompaniment with a Biryani, a rice and grain based dish or pharatas.

For those who want to make this chili paste and keep it in a jar:

Be sure to clean the jar thoroughly before putting the dough inside.

Put it in boiling water to remove all germs.

Press the pepper paste well so that it is completely bathed in oil, which will protect it from oxidation and moulds.
