Tindora pickle- A spicy and tangy Ivy Gourd pickle
Tindora Pickle- I love making pickles so I often try and make fresh and new variety of pickles.I rarely buy ready made pickles because of their high salt content.
Tindora/ Tindli/ Kudru is the favorite vegetable in my family and is always on the grocery shopping list :). This time I brought some extra Tindora so I ended up trying to make a pickle out of them which turned out to be very delicious and an instant hit.
We all loved the taste, the color, and the crispiness of the pickle and I will keep making this pickle more often. If you love this vegetable you will surely love this Tindora pickle

@Dear Sudha-yes you can also substitute vinegar with lemon juice.or just cover the pickle with oil or refrigerate it after some time.
Dear Aunty,
We are not sure if vinegar is sattvik, and hence avoid eating it. What can I substitute vinegar in pickles? Does lemon juice work ok?
Thanks for sharing such amazing recipes. Looks like this is all one would ever need :).
