Indispensable in Indian cuisines for awakening the appetite, pickles
can range in flavor, textures, and ingredients. Pickles are exotic in
taste. They may also be called relish, condiments. Pickles offer a
burst of flavor. No Indian meal would be complete without them. A
pickle is a fresh marinated relish from the cuisine of India. It is
usually eaten in small amounts to add flavor and to accent a meal.
The art of making pickles dates back hundreds of years. In India,
there are many, many varieties of pickle, and each family makes their
own version. India is famous for its pickles.
Indian pickles play a much more important part in Indian cuisine
than pickles do in American cuisine. When most of us think of
pickles, we think of salty flavor and deli sandwiches.
