Fish cooked in a spicy sauce, flavored with nigella seeds, hot green peppers and cooked in mustard oil is a recipe very close to my heart. Memories churn, my heart and body warm up, images slide by and the taste lingers as I savor the peppery fish curry with some hot steamed rice on this chilly winter afternoon.

This pickle is not for the fainthearted. It breathes fire, crunches with a bite, smells of abundant spices and tastes fantastic. This one cannot be compared to the pretty peppers soaked in vinegar and spice; they will get you teary eyed if you are not used to the heat, but will tantalize your senses – a very Indian Pickle.
