Pickles in India are a world by themselves. In a land of warm climate and little refrigeration, almost everything gets pickled in order to prolong its life - hard berries, onions, raw mangoes, green chillies, carrots, cauliflower, turnips, limes and what you have on hand. We have pickled some tendli to make instant tindora achar, but you can choose any vegetable you like.
Like many other pickles, the kundru achar also gets its flavours from a combination of rai na kuria and methi kuria along with oil and chilli powder.
While not much marination is needed for this pickle, with time the tendli tends to absorb the flavours of spices and become more flavourful.
Ceramic or glass jars are best suited for tendli pickle as they do not get stained easily and prevent any chemical reaction too. All health conscious can enjoy this pickle in very small quantities. Remember to include it in your diet only occasionally as it does have appreciable amounts of salt.
Tips for tendli ka achar. 1. Bottle in a sterilized glass jar and store for upto 15 days. 2. Always use a clean spoon each time you use the achar. This will preserve your achar. 3. Marinating the tendli in salt is crucial.
