Does the jar have to be sterilized first?
Also, how long will these keep in the refrigerator?
Thank You!

Hi Chuck,
We don’t ever sterilize the jar, but I guess it wouldn’t be a bad idea to do so. We wash the jar and make sure it is well dried before using it for any pickle. The jalapenos keep for about 2-3 weeks in the fridge.
Tip: Use a blow dryer to blow hot air into a bottle to make sure it has dried well.

Hi Anuja & Hetal,
I tried this pickled Jalapeños recipe 3 days ago & I must say its simply outstanding! Its so irresistible that I feel like pooping one in my mouth whenever I open the refrigerator and see the jar.
I had used them on pizza yesterday & it was great. I can’t wait to try them on sandwiches and other dishes. It’s indeed much better than the one you get here in stores. Hats off to the Desi style pickled jalapeños!

Hi Karunya,
The vinegar helps to preserve the peppers for a longer time. It tastes really good in this recipe.

Hi Anuja and Hetal,
I like this recipe and want to try it. But the problem is I don’t have jalapenos. So, can I try this recipe with green chili peppers instead? Thanks.

You can use any green chilli that you like…just try and use something that is fleshy/meaty. The other reason we use jalapenos is beacuse they are less spicy.

I see some recipes with mustard powder in it. Is there any reason that was left out of this recipe?

Hi Lakshmi,
This recipe was “invented” by my dad some 20 years ago. We have gotten so used to enjoying this pickle his way that we stick to his recipe. There is no reason for the mustard powder to be left out…different people, different recipes.

Hi Luther,
Asafoetida provides a unique flavor to the jalapenos, but if you absolutely cannot find it, then it is okay to leave it out.

What is asafoetida? Where do I look to find it?

Hi Marilyn,
Asafoetida is also called “hing” (heeng) and is a very pungent spice. You will find it in any Indian grocery store but it is near impossible to find anywhere else.
