Quick Turmeric Pickle

Ingredients

  • 1 cup turmeric (shredded or cut into matchsticks)
  • 1/3 cup fresh ginger (shredded or cut into matchsticks)
  • 1/3 green chili ((serrano chilies or jalapeno))
  • 2 Tbsp oil (olive or vegetable)
  • 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice (1 to 2 large lemons)
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 3 Tbsp split mustard seeds (rye kuriya (optional))
  • 1/2 Tbsp brown sugar ((optional))

Instructions

  1. Prepare all the ingredients by shredding or slicing turmeric (I used a food processor with a grater attachment), chop or slice up the chilies, grate the ginger.
  2. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl.
  3. Let the flavors meld for at least one hour, but it is best after a day or two.
