Drumstick Pickle

Ingredients:
  • Drumsticks- 4
  • Tamarind- 100- 120 gms
  • Water- 2 cups (boiled and cooled) 
  • Salt- 1/4 cup or more
  • Red chili powder- 1/2 cup or more
  • Mustard seeds- 1 tbsp
  • Fenugreek seeds- 1 tbsp (Methi)

For Tempering:
  • Oil- 50-70 ml 
  • Garlic cloves- 7-8 small, peeled


Method:

  1. Drumsticks are tasty and good for health. Apart from adding these to rasam and sambar one can prepare curry and pickle as well. 
  2. The pickle takes three days in total. We marinate the drumstick pieces for an entire day or two so that they absorb the heat of chili powder and tanginess of tamarind. 
  3. Make sure to use only boiled and cooled water to soak the tamarind. That water can be saved and used to prepare rasam or sambar the next day. Using normal water may spoil the pickle. 
  4. It can be served with rice or parantha. The pickle stays good for around 3-4 months when stored in a dry place.
