What exactly are pickles? In simple terms, pickling is an age-old preservation technique that involves marinating fruits or vegetables in a combination of various spices, oils, and acidic agents such as vinegar or lime juice. This magical concoction not only imparts an explosion of flavours but also helps in extending the shelf life of perishable ingredients.
Pickles have been an integral part of Indian culinary culture for centuries, with each region adding its own unique touch to the recipes. From the spicy and piquant to the sweet and tangy, there’s a pickle to suit every palate.
