I’m sharing a Pickled Carrots Recipe today as I love pickles and Delhi carrots are still available in the market. Delhi carrots are more tender and juicy. They are darker red and sweeter than regular carrots. These Delhi carrots flood the market in the winter and everyone uses them to make pickles or gajar ka halwa. I wanted to make gajar ka achaar this season but somehow missed it with my busy schedules. So, I finally got the time to make some lovely carrot pickles!
Watch this quick video to make these yummy pickles.
I’m very fond of pickles but I hate the lengthy process of making pickles. I’m much happier making instant pickles. You can check out few instant pickle recipes on my blog like – Sweet and Sour Ginger pickle , Instant raw mango pickle ..
I have used Delhi carrots but you can use the regular ones too. So, sharing the Instant Pickled Carrots Recipe today and hope you all make it and share the feedback with me.

Recipe Notes
Allow the pickle to completely cool down and then only store it.
Use a sterilized glass or pickle jar to store these pickles.
Store it in a cool place away from sun light and heat. You can even refrigerate it.
Always use dry spoon to use pickle and stir it once after every few days as oil will settle at the bottom. Pickle stays good for a longer time this way.
This pickle stays good for 3-6 months.

Thank you for sharing
awesome! Thank you for sharing the feedback <3
25 red dried chilies? Our family can’t handle so much spice, so should I just reduce the number of chillies to maybe 5? Even 5 sounds spicy to me ????
Its a pickle. Carrots are sweet and if you add less spice, then it will only taste like stir – fry 🙂
