    What is pickling?

    Pickling is one of the oldest way of storing vegetables. It has been around since the olden times. Train journey was long and slow.Not many people could afford a flight. Hence, people would take paratha and achar or curd rice along with it.This would make a simple meal while on the move. Back then refrigerators and vegetables were not available in all seasons.Even today,many people cannot afford much, hence eat basic food. Especially laborers who do daily labor,eat roti achar and onion.This process is an essential part of Indian cuisine. We make them from all kinds of vegetables.

    Be it jack fruit,turnips,aubergines,berries,mango,carrots,tomato,lime,ginger,chilly and meat. Some are sour,some tangy, while some hot and sweet. In western nations, you will find pickles too.Kosher dill, gherkins, dills, candied or cuts, chow chow, olives.Fermented foods are great for the gut.So if you cannot digest kombucha and sauerkraut have the good old pickle.
