 Carrot Green chili pickle – that goes with pretty much everything!

Carrot Green Chili pickle is a very popular pickle in India. There are so many version of making this  and I have also posted few versions in my blog.

This pickle is slight sweet and sour taste. I have added some vinegar so it don’t have too much oil and addition of vinegar helps to preserve it and also added crunch to the pickle. If we add vinegar then the pickle stay fresh and crisp for a longer time.

To make this pickle I made a paste with ginger, mustard, fenugreek ,cumin, salt with some vinegar. Then the paste is stir fried in some oil to get a thick gravy like texture. the carrots are also stir fried and then the paste is added in the carrots. This way the pickle is made with a gravy type masala which looks and taste awesome.

Do try this pickle once and you sure will keep making it regularly .

    @kuku tweets- vinegar is added to give sourness and is also a preservative,but you can use lemon juice too ,but then refrigerate the pickle after few days

      If I am replacing vinegar with lemon juice ,, should the quantity remain same ?

      • anjanaskc

        Aparna- use 1.5 cup oil and 1/2 cup lemon juice

    I love carrot pickle and this seems like an easy recipe. Can you tell me how long this pickle can be kept as the carrots are cooked?
