    Instant Pickle with Green Apple

    Mar 15, 2015 · 8 Comments

    My 101st recipe, "Instant Green Apple Pickle", a quick and delicious side. After posting a series of Indian desserts over the last few days, I decided that today has to be something savory, very simple to make and yet extremely delicious. I can think of only one thing matching all those criteria. My favorite Mango Pickle. I absolutely love to have a spicy mango pickle along with my curd rice.

    But RK doesn't always buy into that idea. He makes sure that I dont eat too much of the mango pickle, since he considers them unhealthy with a lot of salt and spice. But no need to press the panic button yet, I just know what needs to be done. I have a very easy fix to that problem. My mom used to make an instant pickle with mangoes.

    I knew that the instant pickle was very easy to make and unlike the store bought pickles, I could easily control how much spice and oil gets added to it. So, I chose to borrow her pickle recipe, and then wanted to turn it even more healthier. Hence, I replaced the mangoes with the lovely tart Grany Smith apples and now I get to enjoy a lovely healthy pickle without any guilt of too much salt or spice 😉

    Notes | FAQ

    - Turn off the flame before adding the powders, else they might burn and turn bitter.
    - For fenugreek powder, you will have to dry roast fenugreek seeds in medium heat. Do not let them turn brown, they will taste bitter. Let them come to room temperature. Then grind them in a dry grinder/mixie to a fine powder.
    - Adjust salt and chilli powder quantity as per your taste.
    - A nicely tart apple lends the best flavor to this pickle.
