Indian pickle Recipe -  Vegetable pickle

Pickled vegetables is my favorite pickle. This is a colorful side item. It adds color as well as taste to a meal. Use the vegetable easily available in season. They taste best.

You can use your favorite vegetables for this such as beetroot, carrots, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, green peas, shallots etc.

For this pickle, I am using carrots, cauliflower, green peas. Wash them thoroughly and dry them well. Any remaining moisture may spoil the pickle.
