Bimbla Nonche| Konkani style bilimbi pickle| no vinegar| no preservative pickle recipe| #pickle #gsb

Any south Indian lunch is incomplete without a pickle. And if its a spicy homemade konkani pickle then bingo. 😊 Averrhoa Bilimbi is small green tangy fruit found commonly in the backyards of almost every home. Its known as bimbul or bimbal in konkani. Bimbul is a souring agent in most curries in place of tamarind. Today, I'm sharing my mothers in-law's bimbul nonche (pickle) recipe. 1. Bilimbi - 1.5 cups 2. Dried Redchillies - 1. 5 cups 3. Rock salt - 1/2 cup 4.Mustard - 1 fist full 5. Asafoetida - one big chick pea size 6. Water - 3 cups Note - 1. you can store this for 3-4 days at room temperature. Then on refrigeration it lasts upto almost 2 months. 2. The boiling of salt water is a compulsory step, inorder to increase its shelf life. Also, use boiled water (drinking water) inorder to dilute the pickle. 3. Use of tender bimbuls makes it crunchy. #pickle #nopreservatives #simplerecipe #easyrecipe #novinegar #achar #konkani #konkanifood #konkanirecipes #shadrasacookingchannel #food #foodie #cooking #recipe
