Preparation of Cluster bean pickle : गवारीच्या शेंगांचे लोणचे
- ताज्या कोवळ्या गावरान गवारीच्या शेंगा घ्या
- शेंगा दोन वाटी मिठाच्या थंड पाण्यात पाच मिनिटे बुडवून ठेवणे
- काढून चाळणीत घालून ठेवा
- फडक्यावर घालून सुकवा
- त्या कटोरीत घून एके छोटा चमचा मीठ घालणे
- लोणच्याचा तयार मसाला एके चमचा घाला
- त्यावर एक छोटे लिंबू पिळा(मोठे असेल तर अर्धे)
- आता निट कालवून घ्या
- आवडत असल्यास हिंग आणि हळदेचि फोडणी द्या
- Take some fresh tender cluster beans [non-hybrid or country-side]
- Soak the beans in cold salt water for 5 minutes
- Wash them and dry it with a cotton cloth
- Add pickle masala, turmeric powder and 1 tsp salt in it. Mix well.
- Add lemon juice to it (As per taste, full lemon if small / half if big in size)
- Heat oil till it smokes. Switch off the flame and add hing.
- When oil come to room temperature, add this oil in pickle mixture bowl and mix well.
- Transfer the pickle in to clean, sterilize, dry and airtight glass jar.
- Again I like to eat it immediately after my mother prepares it … I do not like to wait till it marinates which takes @8~10 days.
Special Tip :
- फोडणीत मेथी भाजून आणि त्याची एक चिमुट पूड फोडणीत घातल्यास वेगळीच चव येते
- Add powder of roasted fenugreek seeds into oil will add flavour to the pickle
