Hot and Sour Carrot Pickle

Hot and Sour Carrot Pickle

Posted 2017-03-14 by Vinifollow
Pickle adds spice to food, sometimes making a bland meal not just palatable but delicious. Pickles are very common with South Asian meals, however, most store-bought pickles are flooded with a lot of oil and other preservatives which may not be exactly a good recipe for health. This recipe is healthy and easy to make.



Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 5 minutes
Makes: Enough to go with ~ 20 meals

Ingredients
5-6 whole carrots
8-10 garlic cloves
Salt to taste
2 lime squeezed (juice)
Pickle masala (spice), available at any South Asian grocery
Oil of your choice (I used coconut and olive combo)
2 Tsp mustard seeds
½ Tsp Asafoetida



Method
  • Wash, peel carrots and chop them into very fine, uniform, small pieces. Do the same with garlic cloves.
  • Add salt, lime juice, and pickle spice to the chopped carrots. Mix everything very well.
  • Heat oil in a small pan, when the oil is hot, add mustard. Wait for the mustard to pop then add asafoetida. Add the hot mixture to the carrots and mix thoroughly.
  • Wait for 30 minutes and transfer the pickle to a bottle; store in a refrigerator. Should last for ~ 2 weeks or more.
  • Eat with bread, chapatti or as a side dish with rice/bread/curry.
