Gobhi Gajar Shalgum ka Achar , Punjabi Mix Vegetable Pickle

Gobhi gajar shalgum ka achar- A very popular and delicious seasonal mix vegetable pickle of Delhi and Punjab(India)

Gobhi gajar shalgum ka achar /pickle is a specialty from Punjab,a must have pickle during winter  as these vegetables are easily available during this season.I always make this pickle in the starting  of winters and enjoy with  all the stuffed parathas which we usually make during winters ,it taste great with paratha ,poori and rice and daal combo too.
The main vegetables used to make this delicious tangy Gobhi Gajar Shalgum ka achar are carrot,cauliflower and turnips .I have used them in equal preparation but you can adjust the ratio according to your choice or can use any two vegetables instead of three but in authentic pickle these three are must.
The recipe is quit easy to make but you have to be careful in few things.First and foremost is to dry the extra moisture from the vegetable by sun drying them on a cloth for a day.The jaggary should be just melted in vinegar ,don’t overcook it as it may alter the taste.
Gobhi gajar shalgum ka achar taste best when its fresh so try to make in small batches.
It taste delicious with parathas ,poori and rice

2-This pickle taste best when it is fresh i.e with in a month. so don't make in large quantity. because vegetables taste better when they are crunchy.when pickle matures,they become soft and  may become too sour in taste.
3-You may increase or decrease the preportion of vegetable according to your personal choice.
4-You can substitute mustard oil with refined oil ,if you don't like the strong taste of mustard oil.
5-Batons-chop like french fries
6-Pickle should always be covered with a layer of oil to avoid spoiling.

    I visited India a few days back and a relative served this achar. I liked it but never asked the recipe, When I came back , I wanted to make the achar badly. Looked up on the internet and the recipe popped. The achar turned out yummy and is even hit amongst my colleagues.
