RECIPE: How we make the Lehsun ka Achar
Our Garlic Pickle recipe is inspired from the traditional Indian recipe handed over to us over generations.
- First the garlic is peeled and crushed. Crushing is done so that the garlic's juice flows into the masala, and the masala seeps into the garlic - bringing out the perfect flavor.
- Salt, Turmeric and Lemon Juice are added to the Garlic, and it's left to dry in the sun for a couple of days.
- When the mixture turns moist, and the garlic softens a little, the spices are added.
- Oil is added last, and the mixture is left in the sun for 7-10 days. Stored in glass jars thereafter, this pickle has a shelf life of a year.
