CHIKOO PICKLE, SWEET, SOUR AND SPICY

Since so  many days, I want to try this but could not make it.  Today, I thought I will do it because I had some nice chikoos with me.  This pickle is no oil pickle hence have to consume it as early as possible.

I made this pickle sweet, sour and spicy because chikoo is sweet.

Let us look at the recipe now:

Time taken: 30 minutes
Yield : 1/2 cup

Ingredients:

2 ripe chikoo (should not be overripe)
1 tsp red chilli powder
2 tbsp jaggery or sugar
5-6 cloves
1 pc of dalchini
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vinegar
few curry leaves
1/2 cup water

Method:


wash and slice the chikoos, remove the seeds.  dry roast the dalchini, cloves and curry leaves. when the nice aroma starts emitting,  add 1/4 cup water.  add the jaggery allow to melt the same.  add remaining 1/4 cup water.  add the red chilli powder, vinegar, salt in it and bring to boil.  add the chikoo pieces in it and cook till the chikoo is soft and the water is reduced to half. Ensure that the water is not dried up.   switch off flame, allow to cool.  serve with dal rice, chapati etc.
