Thanks to my Indian friend , I have a simple but amazing recipe for Chilli Pickle:

Ingredients:

Lemon juice 1/2 cup
Red chilli powder 1 tsp
Fenugreek seeds 1/2 tbsp
Mustard seeds 1/2 tbsp
Turmeric powder 1 tsp

Mustard oil 3 tbsp
Salt to taste

How to make Chilli Pickle:
1) Make a smooth mixture of ground fenugreek and mustard seeds with turmeric powder, red chilli powder, cumin powder and salt.
2) Soak the sliced chillies into lemon juice for an hour.
3) Add the powdered mixture of spices in warm oil, pour them onto the green chillies and stir well.
4) Store the chilli pickle in a glass bottle.

Chilli Achar

None of the recipes I can find online are like my mum's, unfortunately she's dead so I can't check with her but this is what I remember:

Chillies
Salt (plenty of)
Fennel Seed
Mustard Seed
cumin seed

Throw the chillies into a jar with the salt, enough to see that all the chillies have visible salt on them. After a few days of occasional shaking (vigorous) the salt will have extracted quite a lot of water at the bottom of the jar, pour this away. Leave for another couple of days to ensure all water is removed, drain thoroughly in a colander (maybe leave draining for a couple of hours).

Put back into a clean, dry jar with the spices (above is a basic mix, you can add all sorts of stuff) shake vigorously every few hours for a day or so and then cover with a veg oil.

I am having a go at this except that I have roughly chopped the Aji chillies as they are quite big. I am getting lots of water off and I am wondering if I should rinse off the excess salt before draining and drying? If I leave them as they are will they be too salty? thanks

It needs to be quite salty, try some. If you do rinse you must dry properly before adding oil. Remember most of the salt will be in the brine.
