Assorted Pickle
by Tarla Dalal
A sweetish pickle, made with a unique combination of veggies like baby corn, shallots, carrot and beetroot, this Assorted Pickle is quite versatile, and may be served as a pickle or salad, to accompany any meal. Although it takes a little time to prepare, as the veggies have to be cooked in the marinade till tender, the pickle stays fresh in the fridge for at least five days, justifying the effort that goes into making it. You will also love the sight of this pickle, as it gets a vivid pink hue, thanks to the beetroots.
