Description
Bamboo Shoot with King Chilli Pickle is an exotic and fiery condiment, bringing together the unique texture of bamboo shoots and the intense heat of king chilli. This pickle is popular in regions where both ingredients are commonly found and celebrated for their distinctive flavors.
Preparation:
Preparing the Bamboo Shoots: Fresh bamboo shoots are peeled, boiled, and cut into small pieces. The boiling helps to remove any bitterness and make the shoots tender.
Preparing the King Chillies: King chillies are carefully handled (gloves recommended) and chopped finely. Due to their extreme heat, the quantity can be adjusted based on preference.
Spice Mix Preparation: Mustard seeds, fennel seeds, and fenugreek seeds are roasted and ground. These spices, along with turmeric powder, red chili powder, and asafoetida, form the aromatic base of the pickle.
Cooking the Mixture: The bamboo shoots and king chillies are sautéed in mustard oil. Garlic and ginger can be added at this stage for additional flavor.
Mixing with Spices: The sautéed mixture is combined with the prepared spice blend and allowed to cook until the spices are well incorporated.
Acid Addition: Vinegar or lemon juice is added to enhance the tanginess and help preserve the pickle.
