Brinjal pickle is instant recipe prepared by pickling fried brinjal cubes. Though this pickle is instant, its flavors and taste are much appetizing than the regular pickles that we make at home. Adding lemon juice and ground mustard fenugreek powder enhances the taste of this pickle. I got to know about this recipe from my vadina’s mom (sister- in law), who is an expert i should say in making variety of pickles. According to her instruction adding garlic would add more flavor to this pickle, so if you like garlic in your pickle you can add it while tempering. This pickle does not require any store bought pickle powder, and is made with few basic ingredients available in pantry. This pickle keeps good for 10 days when refrigerated properly in air tight container. You can serve this pickle right away, but leaving it for 2 or more hours brings out the real taste of this pickle. Below is the making video to make it more easy for beginners to try. So lets get to the making!
