Arusuvai Chain Season 2 and a mystery ingredient

The Arusuvai network has already forged many friendships.This network was initiated by Srivalli,Bharathy and Lathamma.This network is on its second season and hosted by a very friendly and warm person Sayantani.Its a pleasure interacting with her.Thank you for linking us up.

 

I was eagerly waiting for my turn.I was so happy to receive the mystery ingredient from Gayathri's cook spot . It turned out to be yellow mustard seeds.I instinctively knew that I would make a pickle out of it.She sent me a cute box with the yellow mustard seeds, a hand written note and a grater.So thoughtful of you Gayathri.I loved your handwriting.I searched for Tarla Dalal's recipes.I finally settled on Jagruti's recipe for making carrot and chilli pickle.The recipe is the same as Jagruti's,except that I ground the whole yellow mustard seeds lightly in the mixer to split it up.And what a pickle it turned out to be.Yummy and fresh with a zing of lemon and mustard.I was so happy with the recipe.Now the yellow mustard seeds enjoy a pride of place in my kitchen cabinet.Thank you to Gayathri for sending me this ingredient with so much of zing to it.

I found this pickle to be very tasty and nutritious.I cant think of a better way to eat the crunchy carrots with zero oil and no cooking.I could make this pickle in a jiffy.

Crunchy carrot and chilli pickle.It surely packs a punch to ones palate
