Ingredients

  • 5 lime large
  • 2 tablespoon salt
  • 5 ounces ginger peeled
  • 20 green chili pepper thai or birdseye

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Wash the ginger and chili and allow them to air-dry preferably overnight.
  2. You can use a knife to cut green chili into small rounds. Be sure to wear gloves as the raw chilies might cause the skin to burn or itch. You can also use a manual chopper to cut the green chili into small pieces.
  3. If you don’t want too much heat in the pickle, you can de-seed the chilies before chopping them.
  4.  In the same way, cut ginger into small thin strips or small cubes as you desire. Alternatively, you can also use a chopper to cut ginger into small cubes. Slice thin ginger pieces, and then place them on the chopper to cut easily.
  5. Transfer the chopped ginger and green chili along with salt into a dry mason jar.
  6. Add the fresh lime juice to this mix, close the lid and give a good shake.
  7. You can make this pickle fresh every week or make them in big batches and refrigerate.

Notes

  • Make sure that the mason jar, chilis and the ginger are completely dry before you start making this dish. Even a little bit of moisture can make the pickle go bad sooner.
  • Always use a dry and clean spoon to scoop up the pickle.
  • In case, you are not that fond of chilies, you can make this same pickle with only ginger.
  • There are no exact measurements to this pickle, so you can increase or decrease the quantity of the ingredients as per your taste palate.
  • You can make this pickle fresh with your meal prep and it will last a week if kept outside. If you want this pickle to last longer for 1-2 months, then you can make a big batch and refrigerate it.
