This Instant Chili Pickle recipe is all you need to make the best use of your extra chilies. This pickle is bursting with flavors and done in no time at all. Imagine this – you have something that you spent no time in making yet it lasts for weeks? Score, right?

I love my pickles and chutneys HOT and SPICY…, and I have no qualms about it. Be it the Tomato Chutney that’s a staple in my home or be it the burnt Garlic Chutney, that I can slather on the Lentil Patties or mix a spoon of it in my Dals to elevate the taste to an unimaginable level.

But my friends, I may be an expert on turning fruits and veggies into finger licking good chutneys, but I considered myself a novice when it came to making pickles. Ugh. For me, Indian pickle sounded like something that moms, grand moms, aunts labored throughout the summer to make. And that involved so many steps –  starting from picking the fruits like berries, mangoes, washing them, making the achaar or pickle masala by putting together the ingredients and then dry roasting them. And finally making the pickles getting ready by sun drying them for days till they absorb all the flavors from the pickle masala.

Ugh, right?

But not this Instant Chili Pickle. This one was done in less than 10 minutes. I had an unimaginable amount of fresh chilies picked from the farmers market and I really really didn’t want to see them get wasted.., so I thought of making me some spicy Instant Chili Pickle.

I’m scrappy, weird and goofy. I’m a snob when it comes to a LOT of things.., Mainly – coffee, wine and chocolates. I laugh loud and yell louder. I run fast, but walk slow. I love walking long walks with a hot mug of coffee held tight between my hands. I have lonely eyes and a kind heart. I forgive but rarely forget. I remember the silliest of things and forget important matters. I love to run, read, cook and entertain. I draw inspirations from anything and everything aesthetic. There are numerous people who have and still continue to enrich my life in many good ways. I will remain indebted to them – Always. My dad is my biggest fan when it comes to cooking. I could see his eyes light up every time I serve something. My mom’s agility and affectionate nature that reflects on her food is something I’m still trying to master.

Travel fascinates me amongst other things. Leave me in Venice and I would get lost in its timeless beauty – The canals. The piazzas. The art. The espresso. Leave me in NYC and I would tirelessly walk the length and breadth of the city (after all, There is always something open 24 hours a day).

Through this blog, I am hoping to bring in my passion and love for a few things – Cooking, Travel, Kids, Coffee, Clothes and in the interim learn more myself. Hope I am able to do justice to my PASSION.
