Pickles are an integral part of Indian food be it rice eating or paranthas(flat bread) dominant regions, pickle are a must when it comes to Indian meal. Pickles have a wide range of flavours and textures. Indian pickles are generally pickled with oil, vinegar, lemon juice or water.  Indian pickles are often made into fresh relish and chutney, which provides additional flavours to food.

This green chili, turmeric and lime pickle is a very healthy pickle recipe, where I have used Extra Virgin Olive Oil as preservative and flavour enhancer.

It is a very simple yet tangy, full of flavours and healthier option compared to other pickle recipe. I have deliberately not added any spices to retain the true flavours of chilies, turmeric and lime!
