Hello Friends

Today's blog post is about three very easy and quick pickle recipes of ginger. These pickles are great accompaniment for all types of foods and will add a dash of tangy spice to the whole meal. My today's recipe also includes Allam Pachadi.  This delicious spicy pickle is a very popular pickle from Andhra cuisine. 


Ginger is not only used in cooking but also considered as a wonder spice as it has been used medicinally for more than 2000 years. A ginger is the world's healthiest food. Ginger - works great for relieving various digestive related problems such as pain, motion sickness, nausea and a sudden Loss of appetite.




It has natural antihistamine properties and also considered as the best food for winter as give good relief from cold and flu.. Ginger is very good for our immune system.. It has natural anti inflammatory properties and can help to alleviate the problem of arthritis. Ginger works great on menstrual cramps ..


My today's ginger pickle recipes are very easy to make and the best accompaniment for this winter season. Winter season is the best time of year for making ginger pickles as very fresh good quality ginger in available in this period. These pickles have very unique, strong, fiery and pungent flavor and more suitable for the fans of zesty food. 


I'm going to follow blanching method on ginger, but this process is optional, if you enjoy the strong flavor of ginger simply skip this process. Blanching of ginger means to plunge ginger into hot boiling water, cook for 1-2 minutes and then remove it from the hot water and immediately plunge under normal cooking tap water to halt the cooking process.


Let's begin with the first recipe:

      Kya apka sawal 2nd recipe ke bare mein hai.. jo vingar aur namak ke sath banaya hai?

      Agar haan hai to..

      Aap green chillies daal sakte ho.. par is pickle ko aap 2-3 weeks tak hi rakh sakoge.. jab ki without green chillies hum usey 6-7 weeks tak rakh sakte hain.
