Sardine pickle

n

n

Sardine pickles are one of the most delicious pickle in fish pickles. Sardines are rich in omega 3. They contain a great source of calcium and vitamin D.

n

This pickle is not so spicy. I had used Kashmiri chilli powder, which is less spicy and provides a good color to the gravy. Also, adding of vinegar enhances the flavor of our pickle.

n

The major part of the recipe is the marinating and frying of sardines. Remaining steps are very easy. Once prepared, it will be better to store in 2 or 3 bottles. Use the same pickle bottle till the pickle is finished, because the continuous use of spoon inside pickle is not so good. Or else you can refrigerate the pickle.
