Also many readers wanted links to more recipes from my mother so I have posted links at the end of this post ?

Cluster bean pickle recipe [Gaur or Gawar गवारीच्या शेंगांचे लोणचे]

Ingredients Cluster bean or Gaur or Gawar pickle

 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
