 Got extra carrots?  Here is a tasty Indian style carrot pickle recipe.

Pickling is an art. Pickling is a process by which fish, meat or vegetables are preserved for out of season use.  The medium of pickling is different from country to country and most of the time brine or vinegar is used.  In India, oil and spices are the main ingredients of pickles and that's why Indian pickles taste different than others. Indian pickles are generally served with rice or roti as a side dish.

  1. For making pickle masala dry roast all the ingredients till fragrant . 
  2. Now let all the ingredients become cool.
  3. In a blender blend all the ingredients.
  4. Keep it in an airtight container. 

METHOD OF MAKING CARROT PICKLE:
  1. Heat oil in a pan.  Remove from heat and keep it aside to cool down. 
  2. In a large bowl take the grated carrots and all the other ingredients except vinegar and mix well. 
  3. Pour the oil into the bowl and mix well. 
  4. Now add vinegar and mix well. 
  5. Now transfer everything in a glass bottle.
  6. Keep the bottles under sun for 1 week till the carrots melt .
  7. Now the carrot pickle is ready to serve. 
  8. You can preserve it for longer periods but make sure your glass container is air tight. Give the pickle bottle under sun once or twice in a month and shake the bottle sometimes so that the oil in the pickle touches all the ingredients well.

Are you planning for Sunday special lunch menu? Here is an guide for you. I have  tried to prepare this menu with the available ingredients and vegetables found in the month of May.
