Garlic Pickle

 I love garlic for its pungent flavor. Today I have recipe, I learnt from grandma that I am sharing; a sweet and spicy recipe for a condiment; garlic pickle. An immunity booster packed with flavors.

 It’s vegan, vegetarian.

Ingredients:
1. Garlic- 1.5 Cups
2. Muster Seeds Oil - 2 TBSP
3. Turmeric Powder - 2 TSP
4. Red Chili Powder - 2 TSP
5. Salt - 1 TSP
6. Asfotida- 1 TSP
7. Fennel Seeds - 1 TSP
8. Fenugreek Seeds - 1 TSP
9. Coriander Powder - 2 TSP
10. Cumin Seeds Powder - 2 TSP
11. Jaggary - 1 Cup
12. Lemon Juice - 4 TSP

Method:
1. Peel off the garlic cloves. Wash and dry those completely.

2. Heat the thick bottom pan, add muster seeds oil and garlic. Stir it occasionally to sauté for a couple min on low flame.

3. Gather all the spices to be ready to add one by one while stirring; starting with turmeric powder as shown in the picture. 

4. Sauté garlic for a 3-4 min with all the spices.

5. Add jaggary and continue to stir. Let jaggary melt completely. Melted jaggary soon will start to thicken.

6. Now add lemon juice. It will loosen up the thickening jaggary.

7. Once the mixture start to cook, bubbling will start. Now cook for another 3-4 min with continuous stirring. Well, the pickle is ready. Let this hot pickle cool down completely. Now store in a air tight container in a refrigerator. It will last for year or so.
