About Galgal Pickle
Galgal Ka Achar (Khatte Ka Achar) is a Pahadi pickle recipe made using hill lemons (galgal, khatta), green chilies, jaggery, and spices. This pickle with sweet, spicy, and tangy flavors is quite popular in the Kumaoni region of Uttarakhand and is made in almost all households. Serve galangal green chili pickle on the side with your everyday meals, or serve it for breakfast with stuffed parathas. Galgal Ka Achar will last for about a year when stored properly in a closed container in a cool and dry place. To ensure the pickle lasts longer, use a clean and dry spoon for every use. You can also use any large-sized mild lemon to make this pickle if galgal is unavailable. Green Chilies – You can use spicy or non-spicy chilies; it’s up to you. I like mildly spiced chilies. Oil – This pickle is made in mustard oil. Jaggery – Adds a perfectly sweet taste that compliments the tangy and spicy taste of other ingredients. Others – You will also need Kashmiri red chili powder, turmeric powder, asafetida (hing), carom seeds (ajwain), fenugreek seeds (methi dana), black salt (kala namak), and regular salt. You can also add some grated ginger or radish to add a pungent taste to the pickle.
