Homemade Pickle Powder Recipe

Pickles, which usually accompanies curd rice, gruel rice, parathas, dosa, idli etc can act as a substitute for many dishes. Usually, pickles in India are made during summer season since it is the season of mangoes and, above all, unlike winter season, there are no chances of damp weather which will lead to formation of fungus in the pickles. Pickles can be prepared using many different ingredients like mangoes, lemon , amla, mixed vegetable, tomatoes and so on. In olden days, preparing pickles was a common practice but now since many manufacturers have converted this into a business, different types of pickles are reigning the markets. Also, preparing this pickle in an old traditional way is really a tedious process which requires a lot of caution and patience. The pickle powder which I am publishing today is a simple and easy one.You can prepare this powder in advance, and later on, you can mix it with any vegetable of your choice

Kitchen Masti Points

1. The intention of using both the types of red chillis is that the guntur chilli is meant for spiciness and the red ( byadige ) chillis are responsible for the bright red color of the pickle.
2. You can alter the consistency of the chillis as per your requirements. More spiciness would mean adding more guntur chillis.
