METHOD

Boil 1/2 cup water with 1/2 tsp salt and add the cut carrots .Cook for 2 seconds and remove from the boiling

water, and set aside.

Next add the slit green chillies and remove immediately and set aside.

Heat both the oils, add ginger garlic paste,salt,rest of the ingredients excluding the roasted powder spice mix.

Add salt to your taste, mix well and then add the roasted spice powder and remove from fire .

Mix well, set aside to cool thoroughly and store in sterilised jars.

Tips to note: Once the roasted powder is added at the end, you should quickly remove from fire,as the

pickle may turn bitter if cooked longer.

Pickle made with fried cauliflower florets will have longer shelf life.
