Hey folks,

How r all doing?? Being in Mangalore I am doing good… but at the same time missing my hubby….then  My Moms tight hug makes my Day!!!!  As I always keep telling my mom prepares lovely pickles.. but this time I got to say this is not amma’s made…. Its mamama made(granny) J J J. It was equally good. And she made it for us when she was in Mumbai and both of us(G and Me) relished it.

So here is the recipe for the delicious pickle:

Raw mango – 2,big-chopped
Cauliflower – 1,small-cut into small florets(if it’s a big one use half of it)
Tindora/Tendli/Ivy Gourd – 10-15chopped
Carrots – 1,chopped
Lime – 5-6

For the masala

Red chilly – 200 gms
(Mamama used both Kashmiri chillies and the round red chillies)
Mustard seeds – 1 tbsp
Hing/Asafoetida – 2 tbsp
Salt to taste (use crystal salt) we almost used 1/2 cup.

Method

Boil 2cups of water and add salt in it. Give 2-3 bubble boils. And allow it to cool down.

And Wash the vegetables and wipe them with a kitchen towel and chop them into small pieces and add these vegetables to the cooled salt water. (allow to rest for almost 2 hrs).
Later In a mixer, add the red chillies and grind till they become powdery.
Add the mustard, salt and hing and add enough water to grind(Use the salt water which is in the vegetables).
Pulse till it becomes a very smooth paste.
In a big mixing bowl, add the chopped vegetables. Add the ground paste to the vegetables and mix well.
Mix in the lime juice and water if required.
Keep it covered overnight or at least for 5-6 hours for the flavors to get in. (check the taste if reqd add salt and lime juice to adjust spice)
Pour into sterilized jars and keep 

Tastes Yum Yum  when u add lozza love in it.

With a Tangy and spicy note,

Its time to say Bubye,
