Pickle, a must dish present in every Indian home. One of the most favourite and liked dish by every Indian.

My Grandma used to prepare bimbli pickle in her own style with white masala. After her, my mom prepares exactly the same way she prepared. Whoever tastes it, the taste lasts in their heart and mind for years.
