Zero-Oil Carrots and Chilli Pickle with rai na kuria



Not sure in other countries, but in the UK if there is any occasion...either you cater or prepare meal yourself, you'll see this very very tasty and colourful pickle in your full thali...Normally I've seen this made in oil ... I've made this one with a few changes to make it more healthier...I am not too keen on oily pickles...whenever I feel like it, I make this one. It goes well with any type of curry or daal.

You will need:

• 1 cup  Julienne sliced Carrots
• 1/4 cup Julienne slice Fresh Green Chillies
• 1 tsp Sugar
• Salt to taste
• 2 tsp lemon juice
• 2 tbsp Split Mustard seeds ( in Gujarati - Rai na Kuria )

Method : -
Mix everything except split Mustard seeds..and leave it for 8-10 hours. Now take out the water from it.. After that add mustard seeds, mix well and leave it for about an hour or so...Ready to serve with your meal.

Keep in fridge and use it within 1-2 days.

Serve with Gujarati curries and round and soft Gujarati rotlis
