                   How about making a pickle at home all by yourself. The recipe which I am sharing needs a very few ingredients which are always at your place. No extraordinary ingredients needed. & the best part of this pickle its home made so no added preservatives to it unlike the store bought ones. Also its prepared in just 5 - 10 minutes time. So what are we waiting for ?? Lets get started with the recipe.

Ingredients:

• Cauliflower cut into very small florets - 1 cup
• Red Chili Powder 1 tbsp.
• Salt to taste
• Lemon juice 1 & 1/2 tsp
• Oil 1 tsp
• Mustard seeds 1/2 tsp
• Asafetida a pinch

Method:

• Add salt, red chili powder & lemon juice to cauliflower florets. Set aside.
• Heat oil. Add mustard seeds. When they crackle, add asafetida. Switch off heat. Let this tadka cool down completely. Later add it to the cauliflower.
• Home made Achar is ready !
• Refrigerate the achar for 4 hours.

Tips:

• Don't add hot tadka to the cauliflower. The achar tends to become bitter then. Let the tadka cool down completely before you add it to the cauliflower.
• You can also add Carrots to this pickle.
