A delicious aavakaya which can be made throughout the year. Crunchy cauliflower pieces in hot and spicy powder mix makes you crave for more. You can make it for any small party or function.
INGREDIENTS
- Cauliflower florets 2 cups
- Salt 1 Tsp.
- Red chilly powder 2 Tsp.
- Paprika 1 Tsp.
- Gingilly oil 4 Tsp.
- Garlic cloves 10
- Lemon juice 2 Tsp.
- Mustard powder 1 Tsp.
- Fenugreek seeds 1 tsp.
Remove the cauliflower florets. Make them into bite size pieces.
Wash and past them dry with a towel. Dry them in shade so that there are no traces of moisture.
In a bowl add the salt, chilly powder, paprika, mustard powder, fenugreek seeds. Mix well. Add the cauliflower pieces.
Mix till the powder coats all the pieces.
Now add the oil, garlic cloves, lemon juice.
Mix well and keep it in a jar.
Leave for a couple of days on your counter top.
Keep mixing morning and evening.
The third day you will find oil floating on the top of the pickle.
The pickle is ready to have with rice or any tiffin.
TIPS
- Some fry the cauliflower florets, but this makes the cauliflower very soft and the crunch is lost. So do not fry the pieces. I assure, the pickle tastes very yummy even without frying the pieces.
- Adjust the salt and chilly powder the second day.
- Immediately after mixing all the ingredients, the pickle will be dry, but the pickle oozes out liquid once pickled for a couple of hours.
- Use gingilly oil for best taste.
