Recipe Notes
To enhance the flavor, use dry red chilis instead of store-bought chile powder. Use 8 chilis for this quantity of pickle and add it to the oil at the beginning (before adding the mustard seeds). Fry for just about 45 seconds on low heat. Take just the chilis out, leave the oil in the pan and turn off the stove. After the chilis cool down in a few mins, grind them into a powder. Make the pickle in the chile-infused oil in the pan with the just-made chili powder.
