    ANN/THE KATHMANDU POST – Pickled cucumbers are easy to make and can be kept in the fridge for a month. The salt and vinegar should keep them safe for a while, but they will likely go bad at room temperature before you finish eating the whole jar.

    This pickle will taste like summer in a jar and you can pair it with any staple food, be it rice or roti or beaten rice.

    INGREDIENTS

    – Two cucumbers, sliced
    – One teaspoon salt
    – Chilli powder, to taste
    – One tablespoon oil (sesame, sunflower, olive oil)
    – One tablespoon vinegar or lemon
    – Chopped green chillies, to taste
    – A few cloves of chopped garlic

    DIRECTION

    Wash the cucumber and combine with all ingredients in a bowl. Seal in an airtight container, refrigerate, and serve when needed.
