    About the recipe

    This Haldi Pickle is delicious with blending flavours of ginger roots and lime Juice. Fresh Turmeric Roots ,Ginger roots are cut into juliennes , mixed with lime juice , mustard oil , salt and chilli powder.

    One of my cook book says , Authentic Gujarati Turmeric pickle is made with only turmeric roots, lime juice and salt. I adapted this recipe from Nisha Madhulika's Video and made changes to suit my taste. I must say , it's worth making this simple, easy pickle at home and stock up till next season.

    Turmeric medicinal properties

    Curcumin is the main active ingredient in turmeric. It has powerful anti-inflammatory effects and is a very strong antioxidant. It also helps in reducing the symptoms of Arthritis and Depression. And most common and known home remedy to fight flu , cough and cold.

    But Unfortunately , Curcumin is poorly absorbed by the body . Consuming black pepper , which contains piperine, a natural substance along with Turmeric enhances the absorption of curcumin . Also curcumin is fat soluble, so making a pickle with oil is the idea behind along with improving the shelf life.

    Come lets see on how to make this healthy turmeric pickle.

        Hi Neelesh , No need to keep this pickle for maturing as we do for other pickles . Just keep for 8- 12 hours before use for all flavours to get mixed.
