Pickle are a absolute favorite of mine. I have a to a little pickle on my lunch plate always. My favorite would be garlic pickle. tomato pickle. I am not a big fan of mango pickle, but i love mango thokku and sweet mango pickle a lot. I have quite a few pickle recipes in my blog. But i have not yet posted the common pickle like lemon and kaffir lime pickles. Will do it soon.
I have recently got addicted to this chilli pickle. It has a different aroma and flavour in it, and beautifully pairs with curd rice. You can check my version of chilli pickle too.
