Tasting notes
Indian Pickles
If you like chutney, you’ll love the complexly layered flavour of Indian pickles. There are lime, fish, mango, coconut and gooseberry pickles, just to name a few. Indian families frequently have their own special recipes, but you can find jars of delicious commercial varieties in Indian markets and specialty stores. Be warned – they’re strong! Full of chiles, ginger, spices, seeds, vinegar, salt, and other powerhouse flavours – a little goes a long way. Lime pickles are a great place to start – they feature the sparkling flavour of preserved lime. They’re salty, sour and spicy all at once, with a marvelous “green” aroma.
