Making Delicious Pickles at Home: India’s Most Loved Recipes
Pickles are a great way to add some flavour to food. They can be made from carrots, cucumbers, cauliflowers and many other vegetables. Each region has its variety of pickle recipes that are rich in spices and taste amazing! Achaar is a pickle made from mangoes, limes, or another vegetable. It is a very popular condiment in the Indian subcontinent. The word “achar” means “to pickle” and it is often used interchangeably with brinjal (eggplant).
Achaar can be made by fermenting grated raw mangoes or other vegetables with salt, spices and sugar for about 2 days until the ingredients turn sour. When you taste an achar for the first time you will feel as if your mouth was filled with sweet liquid syrup instead of saucy vinegar!

Mango Pickle
Mango pickle, which is also known as mango vinegar, is a popular Indian pickle. It’s easy to make and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. Mango pickle is made by combining equal amounts of salt, sugar and water with green mangoes that have been boiled until soft. The mixture is then allowed to cool before being drained off any excess liquid and left overnight in an airtight container for fermentation (the process by which bacteria convert sugars into alcohol). To finish off your finished product you just need some black salt flakes or rock salt that you’ll sprinkle over each jar before sealing them up tight!
Lemon Pickle
A lemon pickle is a pickle made with lemon juice, salt and spices. It can be eaten as a side dish or as a snack. The taste of lemon pickle will make you fall in love with it! Lemon pickles are good for people who have been feeling tired because they help reduce fatigue and uplift their moods. They also have anti-inflammatory properties which help to heal wounds faster than other types of medicinal herbs
Lime Pickle
Lime pickle is a tangy and spicy condiment that is a favourite in Indian cuisine. It can be made with green or yellow limes, depending on what you have available. This recipe uses lime juice and spices to make an aromatic pickle that’s perfect for marinating meats or vegetables before grilling them over an open flame (or pan-frying). This recipe calls for ¼ teaspoon each of cayenne pepper, cinnamon powder, cloves powder/powder extract(optional), ginger-garlic paste/paste (optional) and salt to taste
Tomato Pickle
Making a tomato pickle is easy and can be done in under an hour. All you need to do is make the paste, which consists of tomatoes and spices, then add it to jars with closed lids and refrigerate overnight. When you’re ready to eat your homemade pickles, open one jar at a time so that they develop their flavours evenly over time. Open them by pushing on the lid with your finger or a knife until they pop open easily—you don’t want any air getting into them! You may also want to use tongs instead of fingers if you have them handy (and if not? Use your hands).
Garlic Pickle
Garlic pickle is one of the most popular Indian pickles. The process of making garlic pickle is very simple, but it takes time to prepare because you need to let the ingredients ferment. If you want to make this dish at home then here are some tips that will help you: Grind fresh garlic cloves into a paste and add salt, turmeric powder, red chilli powder and mustard oil together in a bowl. Mix well so that all ingredients become evenly distributed in one direction (don’t mix them up).
Heat your microwave oven for about 15 seconds or until hot enough so that there’s no moisture left inside or else they might spoil your food later on when cooking! As soon as I say “microwave”, I mean don’t put anything inside except maybe an egg if it has been cooked beforehand; otherwise, keep everything away from their reach while microwaving since they might burn easily due to high temperatures which can cause discolouration/damage instead of merely getting crispy brown spots instead.”
Onion Pickle, a unique Indian recipe
This pickle is a mix of spices, oil and vinegar. It has a lot of garlic which is good for your immunity and it also has mustard seeds. These two ingredients contain iron, so they are very beneficial for your health. The other ingredient in this recipe is turmeric which helps with digestion and also reduces inflammation in the body as well as normalises blood pressure levels.
Pickles are a great way to add some flavour to food. They can be made using different ingredients, and they’re easy to make. Pickles preserve food that would otherwise go bad quickly. Pickling has been around since ancient times, but it wasn’t until the 18th century that Europeans started creating their versions of pickled cucumbers (or gherkins). In India, where most people still live off farming and agriculture, fresh vegetables are often not available during the winter months or other times when there aren’t enough nutrients in the soil for plants’ growth: so farmers turn instead toward preserving foods through fermentation processes such as jam-making or kimchi-making. Pickles are delicious, versatile, and perfect for parties!
