Instant Pickle Powder-South Indian Style

This pickle powder is South Indian style very spicy powder. Very easier to make and can be stored for up to months. Can be used for making any kind of pickle.

Pickles are part and parcel of every South Indian’s life. A jar of pickles owns its place permanently in every Indian’s kitchen counter top. In our family, pickles making are like festive occasion in every summer. Buying fresh veggies, process them, preserve them and distributing them among the friends and relatives, with love and affection. Apart from the recipe, its a culture which brings everyone closer.

Super hot South Indian Style pickle powder, which could preserve the pickles for more than a month’s time. This powder is perfect to make any instant pickles.

Pickles are generally made in the summer months and stored for the remaining months. As summer brings the wide range of vegetables from mangoes to lemon. So pickle powder would also be made in such a way that it would preserve the veggies longer. Oil, mustard, and salt acts as a preservative and keeps the pickled veggies for more than a year.

But if you are preferring to make pickles for the shorter duration, then this recipe would be the ultimate choice. I always make and stores this powder, and whenever needed I add this pickle powder to the salted veggies, then super duper hot pickles ready in moments. And this pickle powder makes the pickle to long last for more than a month’s time.

You can make Amla pickle, maa inji pickle with this powder.
