Indian-style Pickled Carrots
- 250 grams Carrot
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons Mustard seeds
- 1 tsp Chili powder
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric
- 1 tsp Cumin powder
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 tbsp Oil (vegetable or olive oil)
- Dry roast the mustard seeds over high heat.
- When the seeds start to pop, put a lid on and roast while shaking the pan until browned.
- Cut the carrots into 5 cm long and 5 mm - 1 cm wide sticks, and boil in salted water for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Drain while they're still crispy, and pat dry with paper towels.
- Put the roasted mustard seeds in a grinding bowl, and grind coarsely using a pestle.
- Mix the ground mustard seeds and ingredients together.
- Put the carrots, combined spices, lemon juice and oil in a jar or sealable plastic container.
- Leave in a warm room for 2 days.
- Shake the container whenever you think of it.
- Finished.
- Serve with curry.
- They will keep in the refrigerator for 2 weeks.
- I stored the pickles in an empty jar.
- Ideally you want to leave some space in the jar so that you can shake it up.
