KARELA PEELS PICKLE

Karela is a vegetable with lot of health benefits. Do not throw away the peels when you make curry.. There are many ways of putting them to use. Today I have made a pickle with the peels. I had about 3 cups of peels and the recipe is according to it. You may adjust the ingredients as per the quantity you make.

Here is the recipe:

Ingredients:

Karela peels... 3 cups  (marinade them with salt and leave them overnight.)

Asafoetida ... 1/4 tsp

Turmeric powder .. 1/2 tsp

Garlic ............ 1-2  tbsp (crushed or whole)

Ginger ........... 1-2 tbsp (grated)

Mustard seeds ... 1 tbsp

Vinegar .... 2 - 3 tbsps

Oil   

For the Masala:

Dry Roast and grind the following:

Coriander seeds .. 1 tbsp.
Cumin seeds ....... 1 tbsp.
Methi seeds ....... 1 tsp.
Mustard seeds ... 1 tsp.
Dry red chillies .... 6-8

Method:

1. Heat oil in a frying pan and deep fry the karela peels. ( the pickle stays longer when you fry and use them) Drain them and set aside.

2. In a different pan heat half cup oil and add the mustard seeds and asafoetida.

3. When they crackle, add the ginger and garlic and saute for a minute.

4. Now ad the roasted and ground masala powder and turmeric powder.

5. Check the salt, add if needed because the peels are already salted.

6. Stir in the vinegar and the peels. Mix well.

7. Remove from the gas and let it cool.

8. Store in a bottle and refrigerate.

It stays longer if you add more oil to it.
