Gajar Mooli Ka Achar- Tangy delicious carrot and Radish winter special seasonal pickle

Gajar Mooli Ka Achar- Fresh and crisp carrots and Radishes are available in abundance in the market in this season. These fresh winter vegetables are so good to make vegetables, halwa , stuffed parathas, soups and my favourite  -pickles !

Mango and lemon pickles are obviously the best among all the pickles . seasonal pickles have their own crisp and fresh taste.

Winter is incomplete for me without making jars of different pickles . Carrot,cauliflower ,radish ,knol khol, amla , kachchi haldi and fresh green and red chilies are favourites. These pickles are easy and simple to make and taste awesome .Enjoyed with plain paratha, aloo Parathas ,gobhi parathas and as  a side dish to any meal.

I love pickles so much that they are in my plate for all meals-breakfast ,lunch and dinner . but now due to health reasons I am trying to limit my pickle intake, but making pickles cant be compromised 🙂

This gajar mooli ka achar is very simple to make ,you can adjust the ratio of vegetable as per your choice.  Addition of ginger and green chilies is also optional ,you can add or just skip. If you are not a radish fan then go ahead and add sliced turnips instead of radishes.

I have added salt and kept for a day then drained the water released from the vegetables. This method ensures a long shelf life and as the water is drained so it will not give a strong smell of radish and taste much better .

In case if you want to make this carrot and radish pickle instantly then after chopping all the vegetables (skip step 6,7,8)just add the all the spices ,vinegar and oil and mix and store.

If you love making pickles then do try these winter pickles –

    Hello Anjanaji,
    In the first step, after you salt the gajar, do you have to keep it overnight in the refrigerator or outside on the counter? We live in California and I keep most things chilled. I love your recipes, they remind me of food I ate in my childhood in New Delhi.
    Thank you
    Kay

    Adding the Hing in hot oil burns it, is that intended? Or should we wait to let it cool a bit ?

    • anjanaskc says

      Add Hing after few minutes when the oil temperature came down slightly
