ABOUT Instant cucumber pickle RECIPE

Today I tried something very different and made Cucumber pickle (Kheere Ka Achaar). This achaar unlike others can be kept only 2-3 days but the taste is just awesome.

Ingredients Serving: 5

2+ 1/2 cucumber, chopped to small pieces
1 tablespoon oil
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 tablespoon red chilly powder
1 tablespoon mango powder
Salt to taste
To dry roast and grind to powder:
1 tbsp mustard seeds
1/2 tbsp methi seeds(fenugreek seeds)
For Tempering :
6 cloves of garlic, chopped
1/2 tsp urad daal
1/4 tsp mustard seeds
1/4 tsp cumin seeds
5-6 dry red chillies, broken
1/2 tsp asafoetida
A handful of curry leaves

Instructions

Peel and chop the cucumber to very small pieces, smaller than bite size pieces preferably.
Dry roast the mustard seeds and methi seeds and grind to powder. Keep aside.
Chop garlic and heat oil for tempering. Add the chopped garlic, urad daal..let it brown. Add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds, let them splutter too.
Now add the red chillies, hing and curry leaves, when they splutter add it to the chopped cucumber.
Add the rest of the ingredients like grind seeds powder, salt, turmeric, red chilli powder and mango powder to the cucumber. Toss all ingredients well.
In the beginning , the pickle is thick, but slowly the juices from the cucumber start coming out and the pickle will become juicy.
After one day, it will be more juicy, thats why it doesn't store good for long.
Serve immediately with hot steamy rice.
This is really very delicious and unique recipe .
