Garlic Pickle

Garlic pickle is a bold and aromatic condiment, beloved in Pakistan for its intense flavor and unique heat. Made from whole garlic cloves, the pickle is prepared by marinating the garlic in a mixture of mustard oil, salt, and a blend of spices such as red chili powder, cumin, fenugreek, and turmeric. The garlic cloves are often lightly crushed or left whole, allowing them to soak up the rich, spicy marinade. This tangy, fiery pickle is typically left to mature for a few days, allowing the flavors to develop and intensify. The result is a pungent, savory, and spicy pickle that pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes like dal, rice, parathas, or meats, adding a bold kick to any meal.
