Instant GSB pickle


Whenever we went to any "Kamath's" or "Pai's" (GSB - Gowda Saraswat Brahmin) restaurant, a special pickle is served. We are not GSB.
My maid who also works in a GSB house gave me this "authentic" recipe. And our taste buds approved the recipe!!
Please remember that this pickle does not last for more than a day.
A special souring agent is Bilimbi can be used in place of mango / tomato / kokum.
