ABOUT Drumstick Pickle RECIPE

Pickles are my favourite. My food platter is incomplete without pickle. My Mom and Mom In Law make different variety of pickles and each one has their own unique style and recipes. I always pack pickles on my way back from India. I had never thought of making pickles at home until this year. I started making Instant pickle and it was liked by my family. That boosted my confidence and thus began my journey of making pickles. I have tried many types of pickles. One such unique pickle recipe is Drumstick pickle.

In the same wok, add chopped tomatoes, haldi and salt to taste. Cook till the tomatoes turn mushy.Then add the drumsticks and cook for 4 minutes.
Ensure the raw smell of drumstick is gone. Squeeze the tamarind and add the pulp in the wok. Add chilli powder, salt to taste and methi/fenugreek powder and mix well. Once the oil starts leaving the sides you can turn off the stove.
Heat the balance oil in a pan. Add curry leaves, channa dal/bengal gram, urad dal/black gram, mustard seeds. Add the tadka on the pickle and allow it to cool.
Store it in an air tight container. This Pickle is lip smacking and I am sure you will love it.
