Red chili Rajesthani Pickle

Lal Mirchi Rajesthani Achar ( Recepe of my Mom Vimala Jain)

2 lbs Red chillies

 juice if four lemon

1 measuring cup salt

1 measuring cup turmeric

2 measuring cup yellow mustard seeds

4 tsp Hing.

Wash and dry red peppers

Slit at the center length wise

Mix all above ingredient into a paste.

Stuff each pepper with this mixture with more stuffing at the top of the pepper.

Let it dry out in sun for 3 to 4 for days for 5 to 6 hours each day.

I used colander to dry them and kept a tray underneath so the excess water can drain.

Everyday strain out excess water residue from red peppers.

Heat 1 cup mustard oil, turn gas off and add 1tsp Hing, 2 tsp mustard seeds, 1/2 tsp Turmeric powder and 2 tsp lemon juice and additional salt as needed.

Pour this seasoning over red peppers, mix it and store it in glass jar in refrigerator. Should last for months.

It was raining for past few days so didn't have enough Sun when I made them. as these peppers are hard to find.
