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 more then one year or can say stays good till it last. The spices used are the same as we add in mango pickle just the ratio differs.
First of all wash the chilies properly and then wipe them well. Then spread the chilies on a cloth and keep in sunlight for 2-3 hours so all the water dry up completely. Now sun dry or dry roast spices and grind to make the masala for stuffing. Do 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 then keep keep in sunlight for few days or till the chilies soften a bit
