Fresh Turmeric Pickle – Gujarati style pickle made with raw turmeric and mango ginger.
Today I am sharing an easy pickle recipe which I recently learnt from Ms. Kalpana Desai, who is as passionate about cooking and trying out new recipes as I am.
Winter is soon approaching and so are the winter fresh vegetables in markets. It is that time of the year when fresh, raw turmeric (kachchi haldi) and mango ginger (amba haldi) are available in plenty. Turmeric is renowned for its healing properties. It has a compound called curcumin which is a powerhouse of antioxidants. It provides relief from pain, heals injuries and helps in boosting overall immunity. Mango ginger is also used for treating cough, asthma etc.
Raw turmeric and mango ginger together make a good combination for pickles. Mango ginger balances the strong flavour of turmeric. This Gujarati style, healthy pickle is very easy to make . Turmeric and mango ginger are peeled and cut into juliennes, marinated with salt and lemon juice for 2 days and the pickle is ready to eat.
