How to cook
Indian Style Carrot Pickle Recipe:
Indian-style pickles are tangier than the pickles consumed in the West. They are made with loads of spices used for the preservation of the vegetables, which gives them a strong flavour. Pickles in India are generally served with lunch and dinner and can be eaten with a variety of dishes like Chapati-Sabji, Parathas, Dal-Rice, etc.
Serves: Many servings
Prep time: 20 min.
Cooking Time: 5 min.
Ingredients:
- Thickly sliced carrots: 1 kg
- White Vinegar: 1.5 tbsp
- Mustard Seeds: 3.5 tbsp
- Fennel Seeds (Saunf): 2 tbsp
- Fenugreek Seeds: 1 tsp
- Asafoetida (Hing): ⅓ tsp
- Red Chilli powder: 2 tbsp
- Turmeric Powder: 1 tsp
- Salt: 3 tsp
- Mustard Oil: ¾ cup
Procedure:
- Add the carrots and two teaspoon salt to a big bowl and mix them. Cover the vessel and keep it aside for a day.
- After a day, drain the water from carrots and let it dry on a clean cloth in the sun or under a fan for about 2-3 hours till the water from the carrot dries up.
- Dry roast the mustard, fennel, and fenugreek seeds in a pan. Once cooled down, grind them into a coarse spice mix.
- Put a bit of mustard oil in a pan and bring it to a smoking point. Add asafoetida and turn off the flame. Let the oil cool down.
- Mix the roasted spice mix, vinegar, other spices, a bit of salt, and the carrots in a bowl. Put this mixture in a glass jar.
- Add the mustard oil to the mixture and let it submerge the carrots; this prevents the pickle from going bad.
- Start consuming the pickle after 2-3 days. Serve it with any meal to zest it up.
