I was surpised to see that we can make pickle with baingan. In our home, no body likes this vegetable much and i was trying to make different types of dish with this vegetable, so that my family would love to have it.
I came across this recipe and thought to give it a try. So i made a small quantity of this pickle and it was so tasty that it was finished in one go. A must try pickle.
When you dont have any vegetable at home or you are not in a mood to cook, this pickle comes handy. Just you have to make roti and the spicy baingan pickle will do the rest.

Green chilli - 25 nos (increase or decrease as per your taste)

Mustard - 1 tbsp

Garlic - 10 to 12 cloves
Vinegar - 2 cups
Mustard oil - 2 cups
Turmeric powder - 1 tbsp

One of my friend asked whether we can prepare this dish without vinegar. I thought i will update the solution here, so that who ever has this query can get a solution.
ReplyDeleteYou can prepare pickles without vinegar, but have to add lemon juice instead. Pickles has to be in some kind of acidic liquid. Standard flavour of all pickles are by adding vinegar. If you add lemon juice, you will get different flavour.
