In our history of survival and evolution of food technology, pickles probably came to be as a means to preserve vegetables for the lean periods, when fresh veggies would not be available and well… refrigerators and deep freezers had not yet been invented!
Maybe times have changed, and there is barely any need for preservation, but a little pickle never hurt anyone, did it?
Today, a pickle can spice up a boring meal.. Or it can be your superfood, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, immunity boosting shot, if it contains raw fresh turmeric (good old kachi haldi)!
Here’s the recipe :-
