Cabbage Mirapakayala Pachadi ( Cabbage & Red Chilies Pickle)


This pickle can be made in 2 ways one use home red chilly pickle (yerra mirapakala karam) or use the store brought priya red chili pickle. Let me warn you if you are not a fan of spicy pickles then this is not for you. On the other hand if you are like me and enjoy the spiciness then this will be one of your favorites for sure :) You can make this with cabbage, dondakaya (tindora fresh ones are the best), raw mangoes.This will not stay for long meaning and needs to eaten fresh or else vegetables added get soggy.

Ingredients
1 cup red chilli pickle
1 cup cabbage cut finely

Tadka
1 tbsp jeera
1 tbsp urad dal
1 tbsp mustard seeds
4-5 Red. chilies
a pinch of hing
2 tbsp oil for tempering

Method

1. Mix red chilly pickle with cabbage and keep aside
2. In a small pan, add oil. When hot add all the ingredients for tadka.
3.  When mustard starts to splutter add this to cabbage mixture and mix well.

When eaten with hot rice and ghee the taste explodes in your mouth begging you for more :).
