    Hi Preethi,

    Chicken pickle looking good. This time when I went to India I learned chicken pickle, ginger pickle, and a surprise pickle which is hush hush. I packed my pickles to get them here, customs people throned away my entire chicken pickle into the bin, we shouldn't get them it seems, damn them I keep scolding them that was the best pickle I have eaten.

    One day I will do here and post my version of it.

    cheers

    Hi Sneha , u can use chilly powder . I used paprika just for good colour and less spicy. Usually i use chilly powder but these days only i started using paprika. If using chilly powder add little less and adjust salt accordingly.

    hi, preethi ur pickle look so good and delicious. thanks for ur wonderful recipie. surely, I will give a try.
    jdmercy said...
    preethi can we add some water if the ginger and garlic is not grinded properly.
    jdmercy said...
    if we put fenugreek and mustard powder little bit more, does it taste bitter or else the lemon juice can subside it, please reply me.

    thanks

    Hi JD Mercy,

    You can add small amount of water while grinding ginger garlic. When you fry ginger garlic paste in chicken all the moisture content will be evaporated. Just add right amount of mustard and fenugreek powder coz adding more will defenitely leads to bitterness.

    Cheers,
    Preethi

    Hi Preethi,

    For 2pound of chicken will the ingredients be double of what you have mentioned . What about mustard and fenugreek be doubled . Will it not become bitter . Or do I just leave it to mustard- 4 Tspn and fenugreek - 1/2 tspn
