It goes very well with parathas and curd rice. Today we will learn how to make garlic pickle (poondu oorugai in Tamil-Lahsun Achaar in Hindi) following this easy recipe.

    1. Yes, you can following the same method but it will take a long time for the garlic to get soft and also you will get the raw flavor of garlic which is not very delicious. You just steam the garlic for 5 minutes, that is enough.I make this pickle often and it is a great hit only in my family but also with friends and relatives.

  30. Hi there, I luv garlic pickle n this seems delicious. But is it necessary to store it in the refrigerator? Doesn't it keep well at room temperature? And if chilli powder isn't sautéed in oil as given in ur recipe, wud it hav raw smell?

    1. Yes, you have to store in the refrigerator. As we are pouring very hot oil over the chilli powder, it will not have raw smell.

  31. Your annotations are sooo cute for the picture-perfect Garlic pickle.. I enjoyed the recipe and let me give a try.. thank you

  32. Gr8 recipe. What difference would it make if you mix all the spices with vinegar and nicely let mix with the peeled garlic and let it absorb it for about 6 to 8 hours. Then with mustard seeds and gingely or sesame oil saute it liberally and put it in a container. I thought this will prolong the shelf life. Let us know your thoughts. I did this and it is delicious.

    1. This method also sounds good but I feel if you are going to saute the garlic, you can skip steaming.You can add vinegar in the end.

  33. Thank you for this recipe, Padhu. I tried this and it came out really well! I added lemon juice instead of vinegar like you suggested in one of the comments. It turned out to be a hit!

    Best,

    1. I use standard measuring cups and spoons for all my recipes
      Standard measuring cups
      10 grams chilli powder will come to approximately 2 tsp. You may add less or more according to your preferences.

  36. Also, I only have dry mustard powder and not seeds. How much would you suggest? Is the gingerly oil the same as oil infused with ginger? Thank you!
