The sight of fresh green peppercorn in the market brings out the pickling fiend in me.
This is the simplest of pickles, but packs such a punch! Green pepper, marinated in salt and lemon juice, with a little bit of turmeric powder. Over time it acquires that crinkly salt-and-lemon soaked perfection. The photo on the left is from my last year's batch. The brine is even tastier than the peppercorn!
And in my south Indian household, this is the perfect accompaniment to thayir-saadam.

Hello Deepa - Where can I find Green Peppercorns in Mumbai? I know we get it in Matunga, but not exactly sure where..Appreciate if you could kindly help pls..
ReplyDeleteAnuj, I saw them yesterday in Matunga market. Pavement opposite Ram Ashray restaurant, a long stretch of vegetable shops going up to the railway station, that's where you will find it.
