INSTANT FRESH GREEN GRAPES PICKLE

Posted in : Pickle| on February 25, 2019 by : Divya Suresh

Recently the fresh green grapes, which I bought were too sour, not even a bit of sweetness it had, very hope less I must say ! I had also bought along amla/Indian gooseberry/bettada nellikayi to make pickle. First I thought I would finish making amla pickle and this time I was planning to prepare the instant dry version of amla pickle. For that as you know we need to make pickle masala powder first, so went ahead with the process and made it, then I was left with some pickle masala powder and the sour grapes were in front of me…so what next, rinsed them well and made instant grapes pickle using the same masala powder ..that’s it!!

Please do chick some other recipes using Amla – Amla tokku , achari amla subji , amla pickle , amla chutney , amla coriander leaves chutney , Pudina amla chutney , amla curd chutney , amla rice/chitranna , amla tuvar dal/Pigeon pea chutney , amla instant dry pickle , amla-walnut chutney
