14 FRESH GREEN PEPPER CORN PICKLE

Fresh Green Pepper Corn Pickle


This is one from my drafts that I have been having from my visit to India. Have you every tasted pickle with green fresh pepper corn, if not then don't miss. Try it out when you get them. They are just too good. I had the chance on my visit and tried it with the fresh pepper corns that I could get. One of my neighbour aunty(a close family friend who is more like a sister to my mom) got it for us from her native in Kerala on request from my mom. Though it was not fully grown, I did not mind a bit for trying the pickle. These peppers are picked before they are ripe.

Can make it just the way you do any pickles and enjoy with any rice variety especially curd rice. Is even good for health.


Fresh Green Pepper Corns- 1 cup
Red chillies - 6 or 7( or more depending on the spice needed)
Mustard seeds - 1 tbsp
Methi seeds - 1/4 tbsp
Hing/Asafoetida - 1/4 tsp( a size of 2 pepper corns if using the block)
Salt as needed
Lime/lemon - 1 small
Turmeric powder - a pinch
Gingelly oil - 2 or 3 tbsp
Curry leaves - as needed

Remove from stalk and then Wash and pat dry pepper corns.

Dry roast red chillies, mustard seeds, methi seeds and hing in a pan . Cool and powder.

Heat oil in a pan and add fresh green pepper corns. Let it to cook in sim(low heat) for about 8 - 10 mts or until they are soft but not mushy. In between add curry leaves and then add the freshly ground powder,turmeric powder along with salt and mix well. Allow it mix well and remove.


Allow the pickle to cool completely and squeeze juice from one lime/lemon

Have been missing lot of events lately. This one thought of posting it on time to send it to Nivedita's Complete my Thali- Pickle event and event started by Jagruti.
