Ganga<p>Both made. </p><p>🟠 The Chinotto Orange (yes, chinotto, not citron, dumb brain) pickle is made and smells AMAZING. It is a lovely colour - red from the spices and the orange of the peel. Just a small jar as I want to taste test it before I make more.</p><p>🌶️ This is the recipe I use as a guide. I use Ramdev achar spice mix for the middle spices, and mustard oil so don't need so many mustard seeds. Sometimes I add curry leaves, sometimes not. I use more oil than they specify so the pickle keeps longer.</p><p><a href="https://gayathriscookspot.com/2016/01/naarthangai-oorugai-kafir-lime-pickle/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">gayathriscookspot.com/2016/01/</span><span class="invisible">naarthangai-oorugai-kafir-lime-pickle/</span></a></p><p>🐞 The beet and orange kvass is <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/fermenting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fermenting</span></a> - or will be by tomorrow.</p><p>🧹 I cleaned one shelf in the kitchen, the one that holds all my home-produced powders and mixes. Moved contents in big jars to small jars if they would fit, combined a couple of the last bits of some jars if they were compatible. So they fit better and there is more space (for more powders and mixes??). </p><p>🌶️ On this shelf is also the 2 dabbas of commonly used Indian spices. Larger containers of cinnamon sticks, bay leaves, home dried mixed herbs. Tiny containers of juniper berries, mace peelings, whole nutmeg, allspice etc.</p><p>Aromatic heaven.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/FromTheKitchen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FromTheKitchen</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/WhatIAmCooking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WhatIAmCooking</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/fermentation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fermentation</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/chutney" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>chutney</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/IndianFood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IndianFood</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/GrowYourOwn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GrowYourOwn</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Food" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Food</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Vegetarian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Vegetarian</span></a></p>
