Recipe: Garlic Pickle, Lehsan Ka Achar - Chef Mehboob

Contents / Ingredients: Olive Oil: 8-10 Tablespoon Garlic / Lehsan (with cover/chilka) : 2 daylee / 250 grams Oregano: 1 Teaspoon Salt: 1 Teaspoon 

Method: Slice garlic in 2-3 pieces each, if you don't slice garlic the effectiveness of the sulfur compound in it will reduce. 

Now put Olive oil in a frying pan and every-time you use olive oil for cooking do not cook for more than 10-12 minutes, otherwise, the anti-oxidant qualities of olive-oil will be lost due to excessive cooking. 

Now put the garlic in the frying pan and fry it for 8-10 mins. Between frying add Oregano and Salt and put it in a sterilized jar for 10-15 days to soften up (Das se pandra din main galnay k liye chor dain). 

Now your Lehsan Achar / Garlic Pickle is ready. It's a healthy pickle, garlic is good for heart health and reduces cholesterol, also olive-oil is a great anti-oxidant.

That's it, enjoy!

Health: Pickles from the Market.

Hi.
Was watching Chef Mehboob's program "Good Healthy Life" on ARY Zauq. According to him the Pickles (Achar) from the market are not good for health as the companies use a lot of Salt and Chemicals to increase the shelf life of their product and to preserve the vegetable look (it keeps looking fresh).

So you must make your Achar at home and make it healthy, do not use a lot of salt & oil and never use any chemicals. Sterilize the Jar in which you're making achar.

Use Lemon Juice and Apple Vinegar as natural preservatives.
