Garlic coconut pickle recipe – postpartum recipes indian

Yields 500 mg pickle

Peel 2 cups Garlic. Generally we use smaller variety with tiny cloves. But it is tedious to peel them, so if you dont have time go for larger cloves. Peeling is easier with the garlic peeler. Happens in minutes and hassle free. Fingers dont get smelling garlicky.


Thinly slice coconut pieces. We need 1/2 heapful cup of it.

Grind 1/4 cup peppercorns, 1 tbsp turmeric, 1/8 cup cumin seeds and salt to a fine powder.

Take a large wide plate, put in those garlic and coconut along with ground masala powder. Sprinkle water to make a paste to evenly coat on all garlic. Initially it looks like it is not coated properly on garlic. Never mind!

Marinate and put it under sun for 3 to 4 hrs a day for minimum a day or if possible 2 days. Every 30 mins, Toss the plate so that masala is coated on all garlic pieces.

Heat  1/4 cup gingely oil, when it is warm, add the garlic mixture and fry it in simmer until roasted. It turns golden on all sides. Stir inbetween.

Now heat 1 cup gingely oil again until lukewarm. Pour it onto the fried garlic until immersed. Let it cool completely before storing it.

Can be stored for a month if used properly. Use clean dry spoon while serving.
