hi dear its naj again…

tried out the recipe ..made lil changes.. instead of draining the water i simply waited till the whole water content got vapourized. for that i used less quantity of water in the first place. and added 1 spoon of vinegar too… the pickle was good. thank u. the lesson i learned .try to use small or medium size garlic to get all the juices inside.

That’s a good idea Naj.

hi dear. i’ve a doubt. by draining the water in which u cooked the garlic, some of its good qualities and nutrition will be gone.isnt it? .. is it necessary to drain the water. i would
like 2 try this recipe thats why asking… thank you.

Hi Naj, the water was very little and moreover pickles will not have extended shelf life if it has water. So may be that’s also the reason.

I am going to try out this recipe today. But as a breastfeeding counsellor I have never heard that women should not eat garlic when breastfeeding.

Amanda, I think you have read it wrong. I have written that (i read in the book) women should not eat garlic while pregnant and can eat after the delivery of the baby. Actually eating garlic while breastfeeding increases the supply of milk, that’s what they tell in India.

I have a book “Udale Relax Please”, Vikatan Publications, by Ayurveda Dr K G Raveendran. All the information I have given about Garlic is mentioned there. It’s a very informative book with lot of home remedies. It was given by my mother during my pregnancy.

Give the recipe a try – you would definitely love it!

Hi Madhuram,
Came here via Mathys blog drooling for your Garlic pickle recipe!
By the way, “Pregnant women should not consume garlic” is news to me. Where did you find that information? Just curious.

Thank you for this recipe. I love pickle, and especially Indian pickle. Do you have a traditional recipe for lime pickle? I mean the kind where it is put out in the sun? I’m a sucker for making things in traditional ways. If not, that’s okay. I’m enjoying your site.
