Instant grape pickle recipe, sweet, sour, spicy. An easy pickle that can be prepared under 15 minutes, a perfect side dish for curd rice or as such too.
This grape pickle recipe has been shared to me by one of my relative friend. She sent me the picture of her pickle and I loved it as soon as I saw. It was juicy and tempting. I asked her how she made and the recipe was so simple and easy to prepare too. So the very next day I bought green grapes and tried it. It turned out perfect and I thanked her for introducing me to this recipe.

Without saying anything I kept this grape pickle as side dish for Vj’s curd rice too. He too loved it a lot. I was actually bored of the pickle that I had in stock and this was a welcome change and so refreshingly tasty.

Red chilli powder- 1/2 tsp
Turmeric – 1/8 tsp
Asafoetida – 1/8 tsp
Fenugreek seeds, roasted, powdered – A pinch
Salt – as needed

To temper

Sesame oil – 2 tsp
Mustard – 1/2 tsp

Add grapes and switch on the flame. fry for a minute. Instant grape pickle ready!

Notes

Adjust red chilli powder’s quantity according to its spice level.
Make sure before adding the powders, the oil is not too hot. Otherwise the powders will get burnt and spoil the taste and flavour. Especially when it is iron kadai or heavy bottomed vessel.
Cook the pickle such that the grape does not change its shape.
You can do this even without slitting grape, by piercing the grape using tooth pick.
