Indian Pickles Are Preparations of exotic fruits and vegetables cooked in preserving agents such as sugar, salt, oil and vinegar and finally blended with spices. They are savory in taste and are traditionally served with Indian Breads or as a main meal accompaniment. However, their uses outside of Indian Foods are limited only by your imagination. Try some with salads, cold meats and pizza or blend one part relish with five parts mayonnaise to make a superb savory dip.
