Namaskar
In the months of December and January
We see big sized Guava in the market
Carts with lush green Guava are seen
on every street
We buy guava for eating
Everyone enjoy eating Guava with chilly powder and salt
right from children to the elderly
But sometimes it happens that
we forget to eat the guava
and the guava turns very ripe
Most of the people enjoy eating half-ripe guava
To avoid wastage of such ripe guava
and how to prepare a pickle from the guava
using a traditional method is what i am going to show today
So let us prepare "Guava Pickle"
2 Big sized Guava Fruit
1 bowl of Jaggery cut into pieces
Red Chilly powder - 1 tsp
Salt as per taste
Half tsp of Turmeric powder
1 tsp of Cumin seeds
We have cut the Guava into small pieces
And separated the part with the seeds
Now the portion of the seeds which we have taken
I use this portion as it is
But some people do not like the seeds
If so, you can crush this portion and filter them out
But i use them as they are
Since from childhood days, i have been told
that guava seeds are good for health
But if the elderly prefer to avoid them
Then one can crush and filter them out
I am heating the cooking pan
and have added 1 tsp of Oil
Now the oil is hot
Let us add the cumin seeds for tempering
Now the cumin seeds have expanded
let us add the guava pieces
I am also adding the portion with the seeds
You can avoid the same, based on your personal choice
Now let us saute this a bit
Turmeric powder
Red Chilly powder
Salt as per taste
Let us again mix and saute it well
Now we have sauted this well
Masala has also spread well, let us add the Jaggery
We need to let the Jaggery melt now
The jaggery should melt in about 2 mins
The guava pieces should also get cooked by then
and our Guava pickle would be ready
Now the Jaggery has melted
The guava has also cooked well
Now the Guava pickle is ready
Now we will move it to the serving bowl
This preserves will in the refrigerator for 4-5 days
This tastes great on its own
as well as with puris or chapatis
Such traditional, old
as well as new different recipes
will be shown on my channel
Please do see them
and subscribe to my channel for the same
Thank you!
