Author Notes
Glass jars with pickle on the centre of the dining table back home(with my mother and grand mother) It was such a regular scene in most of the Kerala home and my home was no different. Ranging from Fish, meat, lemon, mango……… would be one on the dining table No meal would pass without a touch of a pickle
I would like to share this family recipe .You can do with fish, meat, ginger, garlic, mango ,gooseberry, carrot, cauliflower etc with the same masala
The combination of spices used to make the Masalas have remained a mystery, known only to mother and grandmothers. It has always been difficult to find that perfect blend, some combination's always go wrong. But now, you can assured that you will get the same old blend
