Garlic Pickle – Andhra style
Garlic pickle is awesome side dish for rice and chapati’s. If you got some extra garlic sprouting and you are unable to use it then this pickle is perfect for you 🙂 You can make this pickle in less than 30 mins.
Instead of buying the pickle from store, you can make this pickle whenever you want – Fresh and ingredients of your choice.
Garlic has so many benefits :
- Improves Your Metabolism
- Anti-Cancer Properties
- Boosts the Immune System
- Fights High Blood Pressure
- Anti-Microbial properties
- Rich in Antioxidants
- Detoxifying
- Flavor enhancer and so many more.
Fresh garlic is used in making this pickle and any moisture is to be avoided while making the pickle. So there is no need to wash the garlic, as the garlic is unexposed to any kind of dirt or debris (since it is tucked away in the pod).
Serve Garlic pickle with Rice, Dal or with Yogurt rice. It is an awesome condiment to have on hand and also goes well with breakfast dishes like upma, dosa or idli etc.
