Print Recipe

I love pickles and pickling! Pickling is the process of making pickles by preserving it in oil, vinegar with added spices etc. I learnt this art of making pickles from my mother. I have watched her making all types of pickles with all fuss and joy. Remembering her while preparing this Avakai Oorugai was nostalgic...

You need right kind of environment and jars to preserve pickles. The whole jar of pickle can go bad if the jar is not clean. I will suggest to use ceramic or glass jars to store pickles. Avoid using any kind of plastics for pickling.
