Chilli Pickle – Hari Mirch ka Achar

4.8 from 3000+ customers across Australia. Read our Google reviews

Whole green chillies, split, stuffed with the masala (mustard seed, fennel, fenugreek, nigella, cumin and turmeric) and left in rapeseed oil until they soften and the oil turns gold. 60% chilli. This is the hot one.

It is not a sharp, raw heat. The cure takes the edge off the chilli and leaves a slow, building warmth, with the sour of the acidifier behind it and fennel on the finish. Half a chilli on the side of a plate is enough for most people. A whole one is for the person who orders the dal and asks for extra green chilli anyway. Handmade in small batches in Arndell Park.

What is in it: chilli 60%, rapeseed oil 20%, salt, acidifier, red chilli, fenugreek, fennel, cumin seed, mustard seed, turmeric, nigella. 100% pure. 300g glass jar, 15 serves.

Best before 90 days from the packing date stamped on the label. Keep it cool, dry and out of the sun.

Add a jar to a sweet order and it travels in the same parcel. Bring India home: it is the jar your father keeps on his side of the table.

How to eat it
  • With paratha: a piece on the side and a little of the oil spread across the top. The classic breakfast.
  • Dal chawal and khichdi: one piece per plate is plenty. Mash a little into the rice.
  • Curd rice, thepla and roti rolls: a smear of the masala and oil does the work of a chutney.
  • Cheese and crackers: a teaspoon of the masala alongside a sharp cheddar is not traditional and is very good.
  • The oil: it is flavoured by everything in the jar. Spoon it over plain rice or into a dal tadka.

Use a clean, dry spoon every time and push the pieces back under the oil before the lid goes on.

  • Best before 90 days from the packing date printed on the label.
  • Cool, dry place away from sunlight. Once opened, the fridge keeps the colour and crunch longest.
  • Dry spoon only. A drop of water spoils a pickle long before time does.
  • Keep the pieces under the oil. If the top looks dry, tip the jar once and let the oil settle back over.
