chili pickle

Fiery pepper relish

Chili pickle is a spicy condiment made from chilies preserved in oil with spices, common in South Asian cuisines.

The chilies are typically whole or chopped, combined with mustard oil, fenugreek, and other seasonings, then aged to develop intense heat and flavor.

It accompanies rice, bread, and curries: She added a spoonful of chili pickle to her dal.
