Achar and chutneys are indispensable part of Indiain cuisine. Kacchi haldi ka achar recipe is the simplest pickle recipe possible. So simple that I was in doubts about whether I should post it or not. But then I realized through simple it’s not all the popular and looking at the goodness of this pickle I believe it deserves to be shared. The instant fresh turmeric pickle is the best way one can include fresh turmeric in his/her diet. Slice of fresh turmeric with the kick of fresh lemon is kacchi haldi ka achar.
Kacchi haldi ka achaar recipe calls for fresh turmeric and lemon is all you need. When I prepared this pickle I was not sure whether I would relish it or not as I find the taste of fresh turmeric too sharp but soaked in lemon the turmeric loses its sharpness and tastes wonderful.
