Rose Apple Pickle | Chambakka Achaar

When I got the Rose Apples, I knew I had to make Rose Apple Raita and later Jayashree mentioned apickle recipe in the comment section of the Mystery post. I searched for the recipe and found one in Nag's Blog.

The pickle is very tasty especially after a day or two.It tastes exactly like gooseberry pickle.

So when I was planning on   Cooking with kitchen electric appliances,as the themes for Week 2 in the 24th edition of blogging Marathon,I thought I will use the induction stove top/ Induction cook top.When there is power supply I prefer to use it for cooking as the cooking gets done faster.

For this easy and simple pickle I used:

Rose Apple - 200 grams
Chilli powder- 3 teaspoons
Turmeric powder -1/2 teaspoon
Asafoetida powder- a large pinch
Fenugreek seeds- 1/2 teaspoon
Mustard seeds- 1 teaspoon
Curry leaves- a few
Oil- 4 tablespoons
Salt to taste.

1. Chop the rose apples into small pieces.

2.Heat a pan with oil and put in mustard seeds and fenugreek seeds.

3. Once the mustard splutters, put in the rose apple pieces and saute for about 8-10 minutes on medium heat.

4. Add salt and mix well.

5.After a couple of minutes, add turmeric powder, chilli powder and curry leaves.Mix well to combine..

6.Cook for another 5 minutes till the raw flavor of chilli powder disappears and cool.

Transfer to a sterilized bottle and store in the fridge.

This pickle tastes best with curd rice...
