Cooking web notes

Eventhough Sun god is not often present here, i dont forget to make my pickles when its summer here..My DH love pickles, mostly his favourite goes for mango pickle or  lemon pickle...Sometimes i go for easy veggies pickles, my mind immediately goes for instant version, this time i prepared pickle with carrots, since my vegetable basket always have carrots..This carrot pickle is very quick and also tastes awesome with curd rice, sambar rice or along with lemon rice..Carrot pickle is one of the easiest and most economical pickles to make..With a bright beautiful orange colour, this pickle goes awesome even with rotis too..It can be eaten the same day its made, but they will stay prefect even for three or four days if they are kept in fridge..Sending to CMT-Pickle guest hosted by Nivedita, event by Jagruti..
