Instructions
 

Prepare the Ginger

  • Wash and thoroughly dry 250g of fresh ginger. Cut the ginger into 1-inch pieces and spread them out on a clean surface to air dry for at least 2 hours, or until slightly dehydrated.

Combine Ingredients

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the dehydrated ginger pieces with the turmeric powder, red chili powder, five-spice powder, roasted cumin powder, mustard powder, salt, vinegar, and mustard oil.

Pickle and Cure

  • Mix all ingredients thoroughly until the ginger is evenly coated with the spice mixture. Transfer the mixture to a clean, sterilized glass jar with a tight-fitting lid. Seal the jar completely. Let the pickle sit at room temperature for at least one week, or longer for a stronger flavor. Check regularly and gently shake the jar to ensure even distribution of flavor. Refrigerate after a week for longer storage.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Best Ginger Pickles

  • For a spicier pickle, increase the amount of red chili powder.
  • Adjust the amount of salt according to your taste preference. It's always better to start with less and add more later.
  • Make sure the ginger is well-dried before mixing with the spices. Excess moisture can lead to mold growth.
  • Sterilize the glass jar before using it to ensure the longest shelf life for your pickles.
