I shared a reel how to make vegetable pickle. Please see the recipe below. Do try it 😊

Vegetable pickle

5 carrots
1 cauliflower
1 cup green chillies
Small piece of ginger sliced
2 cup vinegar
2 tablespoon pickle masala
2 teaspoon chilli flakes
1 teaspoon tumeric powder
1 tablespoon jeera
1 tablespoon mustard seeds
1 tablespoon coriander seeds
1 teaspoon methi seeds
Salt to taste

Peel carrot and cut into small strips, break cauliflower into little pieces, chop or slice green chillies.
Place all the prepared vegetable into a bowl add vinegar and set aside for 2-3 hours.
Lightly roast the jeera, mustard, coriander and methi seeds and crush a little coarse.
After 3 hours remove the vegetable from the vinegar and place on a lined tray to get rid of the excess moisture for approximately one hour.
Once most of the moisture from the vegetable has evaporated, place the vegetable into a large bowl add 2 tablespoon pickle masala, 1 teaspoon chilli flakes and tumeric mix well, add a tablespoon of the crushed whole spices and salt mix well.
Heat the oil add chilli flakes and the remaining crushed spices fry lightly and add to the mixed vegetable and mix well. Allow the pickle to cool completely and store in a jar In the refrigerator.
