Drumstick pickle – how to prepare mulakkada pachadi

By BINDU Leave a Comment

drumstick pickle

Preparing Drumstick pickle is very easy.but you need to choose fresh(with green skins),mature(not fully mature or dry),fleshy(shouldn’t be thin) drumsticks for this pickle.i have added 100 grams of red chilli powder.but it can be adjusted depending on the spiciness. drumsticks pieces are fried before mixing the pickle.they should be fried until color changes slightly.

it should be stored in clean,dry airtight container and can be refrigerated.the pickle lasts up to 3-4 months.salt and oil are the preservatives that keep the pickle fresh for longer time.adding enough oil prevents the pickle from discoloration.tastes amazing when served with hot rice and ghee/clarified butter.
