Fish Pickle

Every Mom is unique and so are her dishes….

My recipes attributed to my Mom who regarded cooking as an art….. she enjoyed making each dish and made us all enjoy…

Following her trails I try to give my touch…..

Pickles are really really adorable to spice lovers. Here I come up with something that is homemade without any preservatives. This serves as perfect condiment to boiled rice, and goes well with many other dishes like Upma, Idly…Every time I make this dish, I remember my Mom, as this was her signature recipe, which remained always in our parcels, packed with love, on every journey back to our pavilions, at the end of each visits, during the good old days. Enjoy the tanginess in this special spicy dish.
