    Gajar Gobhi Shalgam Ka Achar

    Gajar Gobhi Shalgam ka Achar is a delicious Indian pickle made using fresh carrots, cauliflower and turnips. It is a winter special pickle which lasts throughout the year. Here is how to make it.

    Gajar Gobi Shalgam Achar served in a bowl.

    With freshest of winter produce flooding the shelves of local vegetable wala’s, I always get tempted to buy a lot of it. Turnips, carrots, cauliflower, peas and many more winter vegetables goes into the many stews, soups and curries that are devoured piping hot during the cold winter days.

    I also remember Mom making this gajar gobhi aur shalgam ka achar every winter and the crispy bite into the flesh of the vegetables wrapped in a tangy masala kept us hogging in to many more pieces even after we have finished the food.

    It’s a very simple recipe and all you have to take care is of the jar in which you store the pickle. It should be very clean to avoid the pickle from getting spoiled soon.

      Hi,

      This is the only recipe I found which has no Jaggery in it. Which is what I was looking for. I also noticed that one of the bottle is wrapped in muslin(photo) but in the instructions there is no mention of that.

      If it is need, then at what stage do we wrap muslin cloth.

      Also appreciate any steps/tips to strategize jars.

      Thanks,
      Sahana

        Hello Sahana, You actually don’t have to wrap the bottle with the muslin cloth. Just put the lid on and keep the jar in the sun and shake it well once a day. To sterilise the jar, clean it nicely with soap water. Heat water in a big pot and once it comes to boil, add the jar in it and let it boil for 3-4 minutes.

            Oh. Did you close the lid tightly. Because when the pickle ferment, some gases are released. If the jar is closed too tightly, it may crack.
