En-route to the Gold Coast we have spent a couple of weeks in Alstonville (North Coast NSW) with my in-laws. We arrived just in time to reap the fruits of my Father in-law’s chilli plant.
He’s not quite sure what kind of chillies they are but one thing’s for sure they are of the hot variety!
Given I have either used up or given away what was left of my last batch of masala I decided to make a fresh batch using these chillies.
As there were only about 100g of chillies I only made 2/5 of the fresh masala quantity which is probably a good amount for the occasional user.
As you can see, this masala is a light green colour as the majority of the chillies were green and full of seeds.
If you know me well you will know how much I love shopping in kitchenware shops. I was recently sent some great storing/preserving jars from KitchenwareDirect to add to my vast array of kitchenware.
I’m always on the look out for great storage and I love this jar. It is called the ‘Bormioli Rocco Fido Jar’ I used a 0.5l capacity jar which was perfect for this quantity of masala – there is even enough space to keep a teaspoon in there!
I’ll definitely be growing my own chillies going forward 🙂
