Cabbage Pickle (Bandh Gobhi Achar)
Cabbage pickle is a spicy condiment with any meal. This is quick and easy to prepare. Traditionally Indian meals are not complete without pickles / relish.

- 1/2 tbsp chili powder adjust to taste
- 1-1/2 tbsp salt
- 1/8 tbsp asafetida (hing)
- 1 tbsp mustard oil (sarso ka tale) this is my preference but you may use olive oil
Instructions
- Mix all the ingredients together with the cabbage and put in a glass jar. Set the jar in the sun for three to four hours.
- Pickle can be refrigerated for about two weeks.
Notes
Serving Suggestions
- Cabbage pickle can also be used as a side dish.

Some pickle recipes call for heating the oil first while others don’t. What is the difference between the two methods?
Chhavi, I know sometimes I have also not used the hot oil but it does work better
Please send me recipes. Love yours.Easy to follow with great result.
What if we dont have good sun to put it out into? will it be ok on the counter for a while or does it need heat?
It doesn’t have to be in the sun, but to get the same effect, let is sit out an extra hour or two. But if not, no big deal.
Cover it with a paper towel and rubber band. Or a clean cloth.
dear manjulaji,

You may heat the oil and put all the ingredients and stir fry for 2 minutes, that should work.
As usual your recipe is simple and also tasty. Last time I had tried your recipe, it had come out too well.. Now again I am gearing up try this recipe..
Thanks for the recipe.
