Fresh turmeric pickle recipe, a simple and easy pickle made with fresh turmeric and ginger. This recipe is shared by my sister a few weeks back. It sounded similar to the Instant Raw mango pickle we make during mango season. I have never tasted fresh turmeric in raw form. We sometimes add in turmeric milk, apart from that i have never used fresh turmeric in my cooking. I used turmeric and ginger in this recipe, but you can replace mango ginger (maa inji ) instead of ginger. This pickle tasted good with curd rice. I finally got some fresh turmeric, also called Kachi Haldi in an Indian shop. Do try this Fresh turmeric pickle recipe and let me know how it turned out.
