Garlic Greens Pickle

 Garlic Greens Pickle

 

Pickle! Although many countries enjoy it but the connection India has with Pickles is beyond words. Indians can pickle almost anything be it carrot or ginger or garlic or mango or chilli or chicken or fish or tomato or what not. And when I talk about Indian Pickles, it's not just vegetables fermented in vinegar, it's a mix of lots of flavors usually soaked in mustard oil.
Pickling is an art and tradition well practiced in India since long ago, which is diminishing over time. Let's keep the legacy alive and learn to pickle. Some pickles require cooking some don't, I am sharing the recipe of a pickle which doesn't require cooking: Garlic Greens Pickle!
