Life is like a jar of pickle-full of flavors..spices and sweetness”.
I love pickles a lot and for me, it elevates any simple food to another level. Try serving this Sweet And Tangy Turnip Pickle with comfort food like dal-rice or khichdi to enjoy your meal experience.
Well, I am so really excited about this post and also have a shy confession to make.
1)I have never eaten Turnips before…wonder why!!
2)I have never made any pickles before too…. but I love them!!
Honestly, I had no clue how this concoction would turn out to be but I’ve always wanted to make this for months. Since coking being my first love and I blog about all my cooking experiences with you all..this is one of the recipes I swoon about. My first-hand experience in making this easy-peasy pickle was a good start for my pickle-making endeavor. You guys must check out the recipe to know what I mean.
This turnip pickle is very easy to make. It has unique flavors from delicious date sweetness to bursting strong flavors of garlic and tad sourness from Vinegar.
