My greetings to all readers reading this book of pickles. There was a time when Pooja, festivals, marriages, etc. used to be done in a traditional way. There were some rules about what dishes should be served on the right and left side of the plate. And people followed those rules. Pickles had their own great importance in all these. People used to have a lot of time at that time. In today's time, we have a lot more work to do. That is why due to shortage of time, we have to buy ready-made pickles. Doctors say that pickles are not good for health. Yet why do we feel the need to pickle? When we give a feast for any reason, then we make a lot of dishes, many different types of dishes, then we like to eat some little spicy bit in the middle. Sometimes if we are not well, or do not like to cook anything, then we can manage with only khichdi or roti and pickle. Instead of buying pickles from outside, make instant pickles at home, then both your time and effort are saved. In many types of these pickles, the quantity of oil and salt is also very less. I hope you find my pickle recipes useful.
