Mustard seeds have been around for almost 5,000 years. It is a known fact that they are low in calories and high in nutritional value. I don't miss a chance of adding mustard to my cooking whenever it is possible. The sharp taste it gives to the food is really amazing. Mustard goes very well with green chillies!
Ingredients:
Two cups of chopped long fresh green chillies(washed and dried well)
Two n a half tbsp of Lemon juice
Two tbsp of Mustard oil
Grind the following into a coarse powder
Two tbsp of Coriander seeds
A tbsp of Fennel/saunf seeds
A tsp of Fenugreek/methi seeds
A tsp of Mustard seeds
A tsp of Turmeric powder
Salt to taste
A pinch of Asafoetida/Hing
Method:
Take a glass bowl and add the chopped green chillies
Take another bowl and add the coarsely ground powder
Heat the mustard oil to smoking hot and pour it over the coarse powder.
Add the lemon juice and mix well and lastly add the required salt.
Now add the above spice mix to the chopped chillies and mix well.Transfer the entire contents into a dry glassbottle. Set aside for two days and it is ready.
If kept in the fridge after two days, it will remain fresh for a week to ten days.
This can be had either with rice, bread or roties.
Note: I have used the green chillies shown in the above pic..they do not have too many seeds and are not very hot. So be careful in selecting the chillies!!!
