Probiotic Mix Vegetable pickle – A seasonal pickle made of mixed vegetables and roots  with a tangy twist of cracked mustard.

Probiotic Mix vegetable pickle is a tangy delicious and healthy pickle. I learned this recipe from a friend many years back . Since then this is the most favorite pickle of my family. My son who usually don’t like to eat pickles just loves this pickle with everything.

You can adjust the spices and vegetables to suit your taste and preference. A lot of vegetables can be added in this pickle but you can choose your favorite ones to add.

What else can be added in this pickle-

Blanched cauliflower, boiled sweet potato. boiled sliced lotus stem , overnight soaked and sliced dry dates can be added in this pickle .You can also add these veggies along with potato, carrot ,yam, brinjal and green chilies.

Very few basic spices are needed to make this pickle. Salt ,turmeric ,chili powder and asafoetida are always available in Indian kitchens,. Rai kuria/ split husked mustard seeds are also needed to make this . If rai kuria is not available then you can grind black mustard used in pickles and add in this pickle.

How to make Mix Vegetable Pickle-

This pickle is very easy and quick to make .You just have to boil the vegetables and chop into big pieces. Grind rai kuria and make a coarse powder. Carrot is the only vegetable which is added raw. Add all the spices in the vegetables and then add mustard oil and water. The ratio of oil and water is almost same and Oil little more then water.

Mix and cover and keep aside the pickle at room temperature for minimum 3 days in summer and for a week in winters. It will ferment naturally and become sour. The probiotic nature of this pickle makes it healthy and good for gut and digestion.

You can serve this as a pickle as well as a sabzi with roti , paratha ,khichdi daal chawal etc. It goes well with almost everything.

After a week keep it refrigerated for a long shelf life. This pickle stays very well for minimum 1.5- 2 months in the refrigerator.

    if we do not add water to this, will it last longer?

  3. Margaretha says

    Hi Anjana I have just discovered Indian cooking (I am not Indian) and particularly your exciting website. I have just made the above and after four days tried it. It feels a bit bubbly on my tongue and very very salty. Should it be like this? I did however enjoy the taste!

    • Anjana Chaturvedi says

      Hi Margaretha – it should definitely feel bubbly as it is a fermented pickle, so the probiotics build up. But it shouldn’t get salty. Had you refrigerated it? It has to kept refrigerated the moment it starts fermenting.

    Nice recipe. Does the potato remain raw or is it cooked?

  8. Anonymous says

    Thanks for sharing unique recipes on your blog. Can you please tell if the potato remains raw in the pickle or is boiled along with the brinjal?

  9. Maayeka says

    @Asha-no jaggary will not make it sweet ,it just balance the sourness.try this pickle and you will surely love this,but remember to try it in winter only as the pickle is water based
