GARLIC ACCHAR (PICKLE)

According to me, meals are just incomplete without pickles. Heres the first time posting my first pickle recipe. Garlic is my family's favourite so gave it a try making garlic pickle. Usually homemade pickles taste better the next day.Its best to take on picnic to serve with samosas or any type of rice. Most of them also have it with bread as sandwich :). These are somthing which can be stored over couple of long period. I like to refrigerate pickle and preserve cold. Taste great with curd rice.

INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 cups Garlic cloves.

5 tbsp Gingelly oil.

1 Big Tomato.

1 tsp Hing.

1 tsp Turmeric powder.

2 tbsp Mustard Seeds.

1 tbsp Fenugreek Seeds.

2 tbsp Chilli powder.

Vinegar as required.

Salt to taste.

METHOD

Peel the garlic. Cut it into lengthwise if its too big.

Meanwhile dry roast the mustard seeds and fenugreek seeds till you get a nice aroma. Makesure not to roast too much. That may taste bitter. Cool the mixture and grind it into fine powder. Use as per required and rest can be stored in an air tight container.

Heat gingelly oil in a pan and roast garlic cloves till it turns brown. Transfer it in a plate.

In the same remaining oil add tomato with salt and fry for a while. Add chillipowder, hing, and vinegar. Then add the fried garlic clovesand selectedamount of vinegar. Lastly the ground powder as per ur quantity.

Preserve in glass bottles.
