next comes Indira’s Amala pickle which was decided last minute since i had few more amalas left. I bottled yesterday hoping for a better view today.

and last but not the least Manisha’s Ever famous Lemon pickle without oil which has been in my pantry for few months now. I have added carrots, green chillies, ginger and bittergourd after 2 days of resting and which turns out the best mixed vegetable pickle for us.

RP, Indira and Manisha thanks a lot for the fabulous recipes which will be cherished by my whole family..

    Great Amala Pickle and lemon pickle. Nice entry for coffee event.I love Amala juice. There are so many items I made from amala in my blog but never try the pickle. Thanks for sharing. :)

    That was very quick!if you love Amala you must try pickles too…i love juice too…

    Ooh, that is a nice idea to convert the lemon pickle into a mixed veg pickle. So you made the lemon pickle, and two days later, added other cut veggies and mixed it all up? Is that right? Thanks so much, I am going to try this delicious variation.

    Thanks Nupur!,Yes thats right! yes for me i never changed much of the recipe as such! yeah try it!

    Hi Roopa, pickles looks mouth watering. Great Entry for MBP. Great idea to change the lemon pickle into mixed veg pickle. I have a doubt….if you add the veggies…is it possible for preservation? clear for me….thanks dear..have a great weekend.

    Jyothi i bottled this for more than 4 months now! i have not added any oil so you can go ahead and try it yourself. make sure to use more lemon juice!

    Being an andhraite I dont have to mention that I am fond of pickles. I am a great fan of Amla pickle. Will have to make it here if I get them.

    oh yeah i love the andra pickles but i can’t eat very spicy ones, i still remember the mangai pickle has a different taste than the other pickles. do try if you get amalas…

    Roopa, fantastic idea to turn it into a mixed veggie pickle! What was the reason for adding the veggies 2 days later and not at the same time as mixing the pickle together? Or do you mean the pickle was ready and then you added the veggies. I am making more pickle this weekend - I gave all of this year’s bounty away but I found one small jar’s worth of lime pickle vintage 2006 to tide us over. Now I want to try the variations that all of you have come up with or recipes that were dug out from other family vaults, like that of ISG.

    Manisha i should thank you a ton’s for this method. i have one last bottle left. Adding veges after two days or even after a week to make the veges and lemon have the same softness equally and also by then the spices would have been readily blend. i guess you could add even on the same day :). i have to check what is ISG’s version too!

    Great pickles Roopa…. i love all kinds of pickles… btw, where did you get the gooseberries from? i cant find any at the grocery stores here.

    WE too don’t find it all time, it is by chance i happen to get fresh ones. look out in Indian groceries during this month since we find it here only during the season in India!

    Did you add the veggies to Manisha’s Lime Pickle ? So its the same recipe but only with some more veggies ? That seems to be a neat idea

    Yes Sandeepa it is the same recipe no change just add the spicyness accordingly for the veges!
