Galgal Pickle

In Kullu, Himachal Pradesh, galgal (the big, thick-skinned hill lime) is a much-loved pickling fruit in Pahadi kitchens. At Mountain Taste, Rakhi ji turns these hill limes into a homemade pickle with mustard oil, traditional Pahadi spices and a touch of jaggery.

The result is a pickle that's tangy, gently sweet and spiced all at once. It's the taste of the mountains in every spoonful.
