Though this pickle smells good, but it turned out very sweet. Is the amount of sugar one cup a bit too much for half a kg. Of brinjals. !what do I Add to take out the sweetness ? EUNICE
Eunice, To lessen the sweetness in the pickle already prepared by you you could add a little more chillie powder to it. The chillie powder will make the pickle more pungent. Next time if you dont like the sweet taste in the pickle you could add just a little sugar or no sugar at all.
This was really oily and I had loads of oil/vinegar mix left over. I'm not sure if I'm going to throw the lot away. Where did I go wrong?
Dear Bridget - I make this pickle so often as it really is delicious. Whoever tastes this pickle ask me "how did I make it" and I tell them its Bridget Whites recipe on anglo indian recipes. Thank u for sharing such a yummy pickle !Eunice
Thanks Eunice. Do try out the other pickles as well.
Dear Bridget, I would love to try this out. I live in Australia and I have a few questions. Firstly what type of vinegar should I use? Secondly is there any particular brand of mustard powder that you recommend? Lastly what type of oil works best with this recipe?
Thanks, Simone
Dear Bridget,
I live in Australia and have a few questions. Firstly, what type of vinegar works best? Secondly do you recommend any brand of mustard powder? Lastly, what type of oil do you recommend for this pickle?
Thank You,
Simone
Dear Simmone use Non-Fruit White Vinegar as any other Vinegar would detract from the taste. Mustard Oil or Sesame oil is always good for pickle. However, you could use any good refined sunflower oil if you like. You could make the mustard powder at home by grinding some mustard in your home grinder.
