HALDI KA ACHAAR/ FRESH TURMERIC PICKLE (NO OIL)




Who doesn’t like food that is healthy and tasty. This is a no oil pickle recipe full of taste and health benefits. Fresh turmeric (kacchi haldi) is the best way to enjoy the benefits of turmeric.

Fresh turmeric pickle is generally made during winter as it is easily available in markets during that time. This recipe will surely burst the myth saying that oil is a must for pickles or pickles cannot be stored for a longer period without oil. The turmeric pickle I had made in last winters is still in good condition without any loss of flavour.



This recipe requires only few ingredients. The tartness of the lemon juice cuts the bitterness of turmeric. The bird eye chilli adds colour as well as a new dimension to the taste.

Fresh turmeric pickle is the easiest and healthiest of all pickles.
