Indian Pickle Recipes

Indian Pickle Recipes are a must for any food lover. Be it a festival meal or an everyday meal, a variety of pickles are served.

Summer months are a big activity month for the women folk. Mangoes are in season and many special dishes are made from raw as well as ripe mangoes. Mango pickle is a part of that. Apart from the mangoes, pickles are made from lime, green chilies, garlic, vegetables such as carrots, cauliflowers, gooseberries etc.

Most are spicy pickles. But there are some sweet pickles too. So there is a pick for all food lovers. Some have a shorter shelf life while other are used for years. But all of them are yummy.

Pickles are made with great care as they are supposed to last a year at least. Best ingredients are chosen, cleaned. Jars and bottles are washed and sun dried. Most people use porcelain or stone jars. But now a days glass bottles are used too. Neighbors help each other in making pickles if large quantities are made and then the goodies are shared too.

Of course you can now buy the pickle bottles in market but the taste and the fun of making the homemade pickle will be missed too. I prefer to make my own pickles and my family loves them.
