Bombay Chile Pickle

so good. The recipe is apparently from My Bombay Kitchen by Niloufer Ichaporia King... the book is in the mail. Tigress put the recipe on her blog. I did a 2/3 version of the recipe (had 2lbs of peppers, and 1/2c ginger) and it filled 2 pint jars and most of a 1 c jar. Used a mix of sweet and not very hot chiles, and thus added chile powder. Used palm sugar.

3 pounds chiles – any kind, stemmed & chopped into 1/2 inch pieces
1 & 1/3 cups light sesame oil (not toasted, or another vegetable oil)
1 tablespoon whole brown mustard seeds
1 & 1/2 teaspoons fenugreek seed
1 & 1/2 teaspoons whole cumin seeds
1 & 1/2 teaspoons whole fennel seeds
3/4 cup garlic, chopped fine*
3/4 cup ginger, chopped fine*
1 teaspoon cayenne powder (optional)
1 & 1/2 teaspoons turmeric powder
1 & 3/4 cups white wine vinegar
1/4 cup light brown sugar (i use turbinado)
2 & 1/4 tablespoons sea salt - See more at: http://hungrytigress.com/2011/09/hot-damn-chile-pickle/#sthash.uNN37mJK.dpuf
