What are Athela Marcha?
Athela translates to pickle and Marcha translates to Chilies. This Indian Gujarati Instant Chili Pickle is a delicious addition to your meal. The rustic taste of mustard with green chilies is an absolute flavor bomb. If you are a fan of mustard, this pickle is definitely a must try for you.
What to Serve Athela Marcha With?
We generally serve with roti, curries, dal and rice. And probably eat the athela marcha with almost everything. I love to eat them with khakhra or salt crackers, on my nachos and along with thepla. They just add so much depth of flavor and freshness to your plate.
Expert Tips to Make This Instant Chili Pickle
Choose the right Chilies - Mild to spicy chilies work well for this recipe. I either use the long green chilies from the Indian Store or jalapeños for making this chili pickle. Washing and Drying the Chilies - Wash the green chilies, and let them air dry. After that wipe them using a clean kitchen towel. The lesser the moisture in the chilies, the more crunch they will retain. Spices - Traditionally we only add split mustard seeds, turmeric, asafetida and salt for the flavors, but adding half teaspoon of fennel seeds will definitely add a refreshing touch to this recipe.
