Since we were discussing packaged dips and homemade alternatives, what are your views on pickles? Yes, while many buy it from stores, most of us make it at home and keep it for the process of fermentation over months, before we finally dig into it.
On a different note, Pooja Makhija, once, shared an easy recipe for a probiotic pickle. As usual, it's healthy and equally delectable. For this, she used raw chopped onions and poured some apple cider vinegar followed by hot water into it. She then added raw beetroots and salt. You can also use carrots, cauliflower or cabbage if you want. Just put the preparation at room temperature for 24 to 36 hours and the probiotic pickle is ready. You can enjoy it with roti, sandwiches and with your meals, basically.
You can try these recipes at home and they will make your work easy.
