carrot pickle recipe | gajar ka achar | instant carrot pickle recipe with step by step photo and video recipe. basically, gajar ka achar is a great condiment served with the meal. traditionally, pickles are prepared by vegetables or fruits which are than marinated with salt water and indian spices. however, gajar ka achar is an instant version of indian pickle prepared with thinly sliced carrots.
while, the instant version of carrot avakaya can be served immediately for your meal. however, it tastes great when preserved for 2-3 days and then served. this ensures all the spicy and salty flavours are rightfully absorbed by thinly sliced carrots. moreover, the same procedure can be used to prepare from other vegetables too. almost any vegetables can be used and you can prepare mixed vegetables pickes as well.
furthermore, i learnt this instant pickle recipe from my father. while, he prefers and prepared only raw mango pickle. i have extended the same recipe to carrots. perhaps, my father is correct and mango pickle is anytime great compared to carrot. however, it is neither the season of mangoes, nor i get good mangoes for pickle here. hence, i have to live with carrot pickle recipe.
in conclusion, do check my other collections of chutney recipes and rice recipes. i personally, prefer carrot pickle to be served with coriander pulao or moong dal khichdi. but, you can also enjoy with jeera rice recipe, ghee rice recipe, carrot rice recipe and even with chow chow bath recipe.
