Tips from my mothes home made pickle
Jul 01, 2017 11:59 PM 1646 Views

Hi friends I am Maneeshwari


Pickles are always been a part of Indian food and I love to eat pickles with curd rice it tastes best .


My mother used to make lemon, mango, carrot, amla, chili and other pickles. from all the pickles she make I only love mango pickle . so I want to share my mothers recipe to all, tips and precautions .


Buy mangoes in summer time because they will be fresh and while pealing don't allow every one to touch it because my mother says every one has different heat levels in body is all touch it their is a possibility that the taste or the life time will get affected.


Peal the skin and cut it in desired shape and sprinkle salt above it and dry it in sun light for nearly 4-5 hrs. Then in a pan mix the slised & dried mango into oil, they add all the masalas and keep it in low flame so that all the flavoures get inside the mango.


Don't add vinegar to preserve it as simple the masala it is it tastes better. Keep the mixture to cool down preserve the pickle in a dry glass or in pickle pot and avoid to store them in plastic bottles.


If you want to store pickles for a year then heat and add oil a let it cool down and then store it and repeat this process for every 4 months and don't keep the spoon in side the jar with pickle.


I hope my tips will help you to make delicious pickle.

Utilize new, imperfection free, fresh create—if possible, within 24 hours of harvest. Wash by and large in running water. Refrigerate unused make rapidly. Cucumbers Use fresh pickling cucumbers, not plate of blended greens cucumbers. Make an effort not to use waxed cucumbers; wax stops pickling liquid from entering the cucumber.

Aam Aam Nahin Hai
May 15, 2008 12:45 AM 6904 Views

This is specially written for those who eat only Ghass (Ha)phus… and also for others who eat everything…


Mango is known as Aam in Hindi/Urdu but it is really khaas , as it is known as King Of Fruit. Many varieties are found in India but the most liked and expensive is Alphonso. (It reminds me of one of the principals in my school, Sr Alphonso)…


Mangoes is a tropical fruit and have been cultivated in the Indian Subcontinent for thousands of years. An excellent overall nutritional source, it is rich in dietary fiber and carbohydrates. The mango contains essential vitamins such as A, C, E and K;  Minerals like iron, calcium, phosphorous, magnesium, potassium and zinc. It also contains proteins, carotenoids, polyphenols, and omega-3 fatty acids.


Mangoes are good source of food when one wants to gain weight. It is good for stomach ailments; controls acidity, piles and diarrohea. If used regularly also helps to prevent sun stroke. Mangoes are also good decongestants…


One can simply eat mango or transform it into delicious ice-cream, milkshake, pickles, chutneys, jam etc. I am sharing some simple recipes which can be used as accompaniments or pickles…


The first is Chutney (remember your Hubby or MIL ,wink,wink   ) which can be made in minutes…


Ingredients :


1 Medium raw mango ( washed, peeled, de-seeded and chopped into small pieces)


¼ cup coriander leaves


3-4 green chillies


½ small onion


Salt to taste.


Process: Grind together all the ingredients into smooth paste , you can add little water to get the required consistency.


The second recipe is Aam Ras or thick mango puree, this too is a quickie (no pun intended, hehe)…


Ingredients :


1 big Alphonso mango ( washed, peeled and pulp extracted by squeezing )


2 green cardamoms


1-2 tsp sugar


¼ cup milk or more to get the required consistency.


Process : Mix all the ingredients and blend to a smooth consistency. You can eat this aamras with chappati or pooris…


The third recipe is Aam ka Murabba  yummy yummy my fav…


Ingredients :


2 Medium raw mangoes ( washed, peeled, de-seeded and sliced lengthwise into 8-10 pieces)


2 whole dried red chillies


¼ cup sugar


1½ tsp ghee


1” piece of cinamom (dalchini)


Process : Keep a thick bottomed vessel on a slow flame, add ghee to it , when ghee melts, add dried red chillies, cinamom and sugar to it. When sugar melts add the mango pieces and cover the vessel, let the pieces cook for about 2 minutes and then stir. If it becomes dry, sprinkle little water on it. Keep for few more minutes until the pieces are semi soft. Don’t forget to stir, if you forget, be ready to eat scorched murabba. This can be just eaten by itself or used as a sweet pickle. While eating don’t forget to lick your fingers or if someone is feeding you , hey can’t write it here…heehee


The fourth recipe is Jhatpat pickle , I like this made by my sister…


Ingredients:


2 Medium raw mangoes ( washed, peeled, de-seeded and sliced lengthwise into 8-10 pieces)


1-2 tsp red chilli powder


½ tsp mustard seeds


½ cumin seeds


1½  tsp oil


5-6 curry leaves


A pinch of sugar


Salt to taste


Process : Heat oil in a thick bottomed vessel, add curry leaves, mustard seeds and cumin seeds. When mustard seeds stutter and sputter, add chilli powder, sugar and salt. Sprinkle little water, when the mixture leaves the sides, add mango pieces and cover the vessel. Keep stirring, if needed sprinkle more water. It is done when the pieces soften and don’t let it become mushy-mushy…You can eat it hot or let it cool and eat later, meanwhile let your mouth water…


The fifth and the easiest is Mango ke dil ke tukde…


Ingredients:


2 Medium raw mangoes ( washed, peeled, de-seeded and cubed into small pieces)


1-2 tsp red chilli powder


A pinch of sugar


Salt to taste


Process : In a bowl, put all the ingredients , cover it and shake the bowl along with yourself . Let it stand for ½ an hour. Just pick up the pieces with the fork and order your hand to reach your mouth…


All these recipes need no or very little cooking… Any novice to someone lazy to face the stove for long to expert can prepare these recipes…


Pickles have other uses too, small pickled mangoes can be used as a substitute for ball. I do know of a boy who used pickled lemons instead of COSCO balls. Any guesses who the boy is???

Life was getting very monotonous. There was no charm in anything. I was shuttling from office to home to office everyday of the week and in the weekends a little bit of socializing. The dullness had increased to an extent that I had lost interest in eating. Me being a variety freak especially in my eating habits, did not relish food. I had to identify the reason of this. And one fine day it struck me that I had not entered the kitchen for a long time and had not tried my hands on any interesting dish. The only thing that I could think of making is Tomato Pickle as it is one of my favourite pickles and I had not had it for quite some time now. And this was precisely the reason why I did not enjoy food.


On my way back home on a Friday evening, I went to the vegetable store and picked up 2kgs of tomatoes so that I could make the long desired tomato pickle in the weekend. My taste buds had grown so damn strong for this pickle, by now. And anyways I enjoy cooking, so it was not at all a problem.


I could not think of a better topic to write on MS. This way I would be doing a great favour to mankind. This recipe would be a lifesaver for all those who have to undergo the torture of having boring so called nutritious food, which tastes awful. This pickle enhances the taste of anything you have it with.


First and foremost, I would give you the recipe of this pickle in Sanjeev Kapoor Stylec.. well leme tell you beforehand that I am not very good in explaining the recipecc.but thought of giving it a try.


Ingredients required:


1 kg Tomato (finely chopped)


4 Tbsp Sesame oil


1 tsp Rai


1 tsp Methi Powder


Half tsp of Asefoetide


2 tbsp Salt


2 tbsp Chilli powder


1 cooking pan (Kadai)


1 cooking spoon (karchi)


1 gas


1 cylinder


Firstly, put on the gas and place the Kadai on it. Add 2 Tbsp of Sesame oil and add Rai. When the oil is hot and Rai starts bursting, add the finely chopped tomatoes. After few minutes, add Methi powder, Asefoetida, salt , chilli powder. Now close the kadai with a lid and let the cooking happen and you go and watch TV or read a book. But donft forget to keep checking time and again. You will have to stir it every 10 minutes.


After say 15 mins of cooking, add another spoon of Sesame Oil. Stir again. Now if you wish to, you can take a small spoon and taste it. After all you got to check if all the ingredients are gSwaadaanusarh. And now that you have tasted it once, you will keep repeating this process every time you come for stirring the pickle. This is an automatic phenomenan. You can try it to believe it.


When it shrinks down to a thick paste, you can put off the gas and store it in a box. And after you remove the pickle from the cooking pan, you would see some crispy portion of the pickle in the pan. Take a spoon to scrap it off and eat it. This is the yummiest part. And if you donft have it, then it would be a national wastage.


Now I would like to share the dishes with which you can relish tomato pickle.


Actually you can relish it with anything and everything. If you are undergoing the torture of not getting good food, you should definitely have a stock of this pickle, as this would make anything taste better. You can have it with:


Bread


Puri


Dosa


Curd rice


Lauki ki Sabji (Cause if you are not fond of lauki ki sabji, then you can balance out the taste with this pickle)


Plain rice


Potato Wafers


Bhujiya


Matri( Namkeen)


Roti


Tepla


Kaakda (Dry roticc..a gujju dish)


Or just like thatc.. cause you will anyways love itcc


Hope you enjoy this recipecc..I would like to know your experience with this mouth watering dish. And I am very sure that those who are reading this review would be imagining the look of this dish and their mouth would be wateringcc.


Ya and for those who are not aware, I would like to share that cooking is a very good way of fighting out depression and monotony. I donft know if people who have to cook daily would agree with this or notc.but it has helped me many a timescc.try it outc.

Quick pickles - Kerala Style!!!!!!!!
Jun 29, 2003 02:37 AM 24795 Views

I’m a lover of home cooked South Indian food & pickles are a must for me during lunch, dinner and at times for breakfast too. Some of  the traditional pickles take a long time to be ready for consumption like “Kadu Manga'(Tender mango pickles which are prepared and kept for months before serving so that all the masalas fuse into the mangoes). I like to experiment with cooking and hence tryout making easy, instant pickles. I never use the readymade pickle powder that’s available in the market because somehow my tastebuds refuse to accept them. I’d like to share a few tips & methods of making pickles quickly.


For making mango pickle, take 2 medium sized raw mangoes and peel off the skin. Cut them in to tiny pieces and rub it with salt(according to taste) and keep aside for  an hour or two. Then add to it a heaped tablespoon of red chilly powder, a pinch of asafetida powder(Hing) and a pinch of fenugreek powder. Mix well and keep for a few hours.The pickle is ready for use. If this is to be kept longer, gingely oil can be added on top after transferring it to the container. The quantity of red chilly powder can be adjusted according to your taste. Carrots also can be pickled in the same way but it’s a must to add vinegar to the carrot pickle. Also, it has to be kept for a day or two before using.


I hate to eat bitter-gourd (Karela) but am extremely fond of the pickle made of it. Whitish coloured Karelas will be less bitter than the dark green ones. For removing the bitter taste, cut it in to thin pieces & rub a little salt and turmeric powder on to it. Keep for 10 minutes and then steam them till half done. Chop 2-3 green chillies and a few cloves of garlic. Take a pan and heat a tablespoon of oil and after that add some mustard seeds. When the mustard seeds crackle, add the chillies, garlic, a few curry leaves and quarter teaspoon turmeric powder. Then add the prepared karelas and adjust the salt according your taste. After a minute, turn the fire off and add enough vinegar to it.(Quarter cup will do). This can be used the next day but is best after 2-3 days.


For making quick lemon pickle, take a few lemons( the salad variety will be better)peel off the skin, cut it in to small pieces and put it in a glass container along with a few chopped green chillies and 2 crushed cloves of garlic. Add salt and a few drops of vinegar. Mix well and keep it overnight. The pickle will be ready to use the next day. It can be kept refrigerated after that.


Before making any pickle, some care has to be taken:


Make sure that the utensils used for mixing and the container used for storing the pickle is thoroughly dry.


Wash the vegetables well and wipe off the water on them with a clean cloth/tissue.


Its always better to deep fry fish/prawns/meat and then use them for pickling.


For pickles in which vinegar is used, there is no need of adding any other preservative.


The tinier the pieces, the earlier the pickle will be ready for use.


A pinch of sugar added in the end will neutralize the effect of any strong flavor that is present in the pickle.


If pickles are to kept for a long time, see that the oil floats on the top and always take the pickle with a dry spoon.


You may sun-dry the vegetables for a day(rub some salt on to it) and then pickle it. Its tastier.


Pickles made with dried vegetables can be kept for a longer period of time.


Usually, lemon pickle takes a few days to get the right taste but it can be easier done if the skin of the lemon is peeled off before making the pickle. Big lemons like the variety used in salads can be used for this.


Either steam gooseberry or sauté in oil before preparing the pickle. This helps to soften the gooseberry.


Always use fresh, firm vegetables for making pickles.


After serving, never put any leftover pickle back in to the jar.


These are a few tips I know and I hope it helps those who need it.

MY FAMILY’S HOME MADE DILL PICKLES


This is a quick way to make home made Dill PICKLES. You will notice that I don't use vinegar in my PICKLES.


Preparation time: 3/4 of an hour.


You will need to have 10 jars that are 2 quarts/1/2 of an imperial gallon. These have to be new or serialized. I serialize mine by running them through my Dishwasher.


20 pounds/9k of small hard cucumbers. These need to be brushed to make sure that all the soil is off them, (don't put them into water to do this).


Fresh Dill


Fresh Garlic


Course or Kosher Salt


Allspice, (with the red Pepper removed)


Boiling Water.


DIRECTIONS:


Into each bottle put one sprig of dill, 2 tablespoons of course salt, 1 ½ cloves of garlic and 1 tablespoon of Allspice.


Cover this with boiling water.


Add the cucumbers so the look like they are standing erect. Fill the jar with the cucumbers until it's almost full.


Fill the jar with cold water.


Close the jars and seal them as tight as you can.


Put a newspaper on your counter and leave the jars stand there for one day.


The next day try and make the tops tighter and turn them up side down. Leave them for one day.


The next day make the tops tighter and leave them stand in an upright position.


On the 3rd day I wash the outside of the jars and put them all in my extra Refrigerator. We call these Half Done PICKLES and when you eat one you will understand why my Family likes them made this way.


If you like your PICKLES completely done leave them on the counter for another 3 days. You don't have to Refrigerate them if you don't want to.


I hope if you make my Dill PICKLES and have never tasted a half done one please leave at least one jar this way.


Enjoy!
