Pickles Making Guide | Supriya Telangana Pindi Vantalu and Pickles
Introduction:
At Supriya Telangana Pindi Vantalu and Pickles, we take pride in crafting authentic Telangana-style pickles that bring the true flavors of the region right to your table. Using traditional recipes passed down through generations, we carefully select the best ingredients to create pickles that are not only delicious but also free from preservatives and artificial flavors.
Step-by-Step Process of Pickle Making:
-
Selection of Fresh Ingredients:
- We begin by choosing the finest seasonal vegetables, fruits, and spices. Quality is our priority, and we ensure everything used is fresh, organic, and pesticide-free.
-
Preparation of Ingredients:
- The vegetables or fruits are washed thoroughly and cut into precise pieces. We ensure that the pieces are of uniform size for even marination.
-
Drying:
- After cutting, the ingredients are dried in the sun to remove excess moisture. This step is crucial for preserving the pickles and enhancing their shelf life.
-
Spice Preparation:
- We prepare a special blend of spices, including mustard, fenugreek, chili powder, turmeric, garlic, ginger, and other traditional Telangana spices. The spices are freshly ground to ensure that their flavors are at their peak.
-
Marination:
- The dried ingredients are mixed with the spice blend and seasoned with salt. This mixture is then placed in clean, sterilized glass jars. The pickles are left to marinate for several days, allowing the flavors to infuse and mature.
-
Oil Infusion:
- Pure sesame oil (nuvvulu oil) is added to the pickle to preserve the ingredients and enhance the flavor. The oil used is always of the highest quality.
-
Maturation:
- Once packed, the pickles are stored in a cool, dry place to allow them to mature. During this time, the spices blend perfectly with the fruits or vegetables, and the flavors intensify.
-
Quality Control:
- Our team constantly monitors the pickles during the maturation process to ensure that the flavor, texture, and aroma are just right.
-
Packaging:
- After maturation, the pickles are packed into airtight containers to preserve their freshness and prevent contamination.
