This recipe is from our friend Gautam, who dabbles in gardening, cooking, baking, grilling, photography, and on the side, is a neurosurgeon! He grows a bunch of varieties of green chilies including some of the hottest varieties, and like any Indian worth his salt, pickles them. I love this pickle and followed his recipe to make my own from my garden produce, as I was running out of his stock! Eyeballed most of the ingredients.
Masal Vadai (Chana Dhal Fritters)
An excellent rainy day snack, high in protein and loaded with the complex flavors of onions, mint, and fennel seeds.
