Cabbage Pickle (Bandh Gobhi Achar)
Cabbage pickle is a spicy condiment with any meal. This is quick and easy to prepare. Traditionally Indian meals are not complete without pickles / relish.
- 4 cup cabbage sliced, (patta gobhi, bandh gobhi)
- 3 tbsp mustard seeds coarsely ground, (rai)
- 1 tbsp fennel seeds coarsely ground (saunf)
- 1/4 tbsp turmeric (haldi)
- 1/2 tbsp chili powder adjust to taste
- 1-1/2 tbsp salt
- 1/8 tbsp asafetida (hing)
- 1 tbsp mustard oil (sarso ka tale) this is my preference but you may use olive oil
Mix all the ingredients together with the cabbage and put in a glass jar. Set the jar in the sun for three to four hours.
Pickle can be refrigerated for about two weeks.
Serving Suggestions
- Cabbage pickle can also be used as a side dish.
- Use the pickle for sandwiches.

July 29, 2016 at 11:56 amSome pickle recipes call for heating the oil first while others don’t. What is the difference between the two methods?

April 29, 2015 at 4:33 pmWhat if we dont have good sun to put it out into? will it be ok on the counter for a while or does it need heat?

April 29, 2015 at 3:05 pmIt doesn’t have to be in the sun, but to get the same effect, let is sit out an extra hour or two. But if not, no big deal.
Cover it with a paper towel and rubber band. Or a clean cloth.
