Have you ever thought of making a garlic pickle? It is one of those easy Indian recipes that are so uncomplicated to follow. And if you are a devoted garlic lover like me, then I am sure you are going to love this pickle.

Garlic Pickle

I think this Indian style pickle is the best way to include loads of garlic in our everyday diet. If the word Indian and pickle intimidating you then don’t worry, this is a pretty simple and straightforward recipe to reciprocate. 

How I even know about this unique pickle recipe? All thanks to my mother. She is the one who is been making batches of garlic pickle every year for the entire family. Needless, to say she is also a hardcore garlic lover like me.

This pickle has a strong aroma of garlic and a pungent taste of mustard to it. Making it all the more delectable. There is something totally irresistible about the aroma of garlic. It is so captivating and addictive in a good way.  

Garlic Pickle

For someone like me who has always fallen for the Spaghetti Aglio Olio and the Cream of Garlic Soup, this pickle recipe is another favorite garlic dish. We love to enjoy garlic pickle with stuffed paratha, dal, and at times with the khichdi as well.

I have used the giant size Chinese garlic cloves to make this pickle. They have so much more perfume and flavor to them than the regular tiny garlic cloves. And the best part is you can easily get a neatly peeled and packed bag of Chinese garlic cloves at any supermarket.

There is one little secret I want to share with you about this pickle – the older it gets the better it is. With time the garlic cloves soaked in the masala get softer and softer and the flavor of the pickle matures perfectly.

Many nutritionists believe that the medicinal value of garlic is best unlocked when it is consumed raw. And what could be a better way to eat tons of raw garlic then delicious pickle. In case you wondering what health hazards garlic help to cure – it helps regulate blood pressure, blood sugar, lower cholesterol levels and purifies the blood.

Hope now I have given you more than one reason to try this garlic pickle recipe.

No worries. You can taste it and check. I am sure it is ready by now. Just make sure no moisture should enter the pickle jar else it will have fungus infestation.
