Karela Pickle Recipe Preparation Steps
Karela pickle, a tangy and spicy delight, is a cherished addition to many Indian meals. If you’re interested in mastering this unique condiment, understanding the karela pickle recipe preparation steps is essential. The first step involves selecting the finest bitter gourds, or karelas, ensuring they are fresh and firm. Start by thoroughly washing the karelas and then cutting them into thin slices. This helps release the natural bitterness, which can later be tamed by the spices. Next, you should sprinkle some salt over the sliced karelas and let them rest for several hours. This not only enhances the flavor but also aids in the dehydration process, making the karela crunchier. After the karelas have rested, they can be rinsed to remove excess salt before moving on to the next stage of the recipe.
In the subsequent preparation steps for your karela pickle, the spices are what bring the dish to life. Begin by heating some mustard oil until it reaches its smoking point, which will give the pickle a robust flavor. Allow the oil to cool slightly before adding key ingredients such as fenugreek seeds, mustard seeds, turmeric powder, and red chili powder. Once the spices sizzle and release their aroma, incorporate the karela slices into the pan, mixing thoroughly. Ensure each slice is coated in the spicy oil mixture before transferring the blend into a sterilized jar. Lastly, let the karela pickle sit in a sunny spot for a couple of days, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully. Following these karela pickle recipe preparation steps will not only enhance your culinary skills but also provide you with a delicious condiment that can elevate any meal!
