Assorted Vegitables Pickles

Pickles is part of our daily food. Dal Bhat and Tarkari may sound bit boring but pickles really adds that extra zing to our taste buds; that plays a huge role. We take it only half or a spoonful of it but it's that part of the food that we can't live without. We can convert almost everything to pickles. It is rare that we can't convert a vegetable or a fruit into a pickles. Sometimes single vegetable gives that tangy taste and sometimes the mixed vegetables gives us a reason to finish food. We need it more during summer seasons rather than winter season. However winter is the right time to make pickle.
