Green Chilli Pickle

I had got 1/2 kg of green bajji milagai from the market, but alas no one at home was in the mood to eat milagai bajji. So i was looking for alternate recipes to use those chillies. As I came across this green chilli recipe from the blog ‘ A mad tea party’, I decided to make pickle with bajji milagai, by little bit modifying the recipe. The original recipe used medium sized green chillies.I also used gingelly oil instead of refined oil and added a pinch of hing to give it a southindian flavour. I am sending this recipe for BB6-Blogbites ( The Potluck Edition) event conducted by ‘Nupur’ of ‘One Hot Stove’.
