This pickle is my all time favourite. Grandma used to make this. But she dont add those spice powders, she make it with ginger, green chilli and gooseberry which is covered with water and salt. YUM YUM..

This pickle is so tasty, the water from the pickle is more tasty. I can drink it all by itself ..

Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you..
