Instructions
 

Prepare the Karonda

  • Boil 100g karonda in enough water until tender. Cool completely and drain well. Remove the black cap from each karonda.

Prepare the Spice Powder

  • Dry roast the cumin seeds, carom seeds, mustard seeds, and fenugreek seeds in a pan until fragrant. Let cool completely, then grind into a fine powder using a spice grinder or mortar and pestle.

Combine and Pickle

  • In a bowl, thoroughly mix the prepared karonda with the spice powder, asafoetida, red chili powder, and salt.

Add Oil and Cure

  • Heat the mustard oil. Pour the hot oil over the karonda mixture, stirring gently to combine. Transfer the mixture into a clean, dry glass jar. Seal tightly. Place the jar in direct sunlight for 2-3 days, or until the pickle reaches your desired level of tanginess. Stir occasionally.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Best Karonde Ka Achaar:

  • Sun-Ripened Karonda: Use ripe, sun-ripened karonda for the best flavor and sweetness. The riper, the better!
  • Sterilize Your Jar: To prevent spoilage, sterilize your glass jar by boiling it in water for 10 minutes before adding the pickle.
  • Adjust the Spice Level: Adjust the amount of red chili powder according to your preference for spiciness. Start with less and add more gradually.
  • Storage: Once the pickle is ready, store it in a cool, dark place. It should last for several weeks or even months if properly stored.
