Garlic Pickle

I have never been much fond of Pickle. I mainly like ખાટુ અથાણુ only. So whenever mom sends parcel from India, I ask her to send this pickle. As consumption is very less, I tell her to send it in a small jar only and instead send extra dry pickle masala. Whenever I really crave for pickle, I make it fresh using this masala and finish it within a week or so. Apart from traditional ingredient i.e. mango, I also use carrot, peas and ટીન્ડોળા. Being winter, I thought to experiment, to try the same masala with garlic. We tried it with Khichdi and went nicely.
