Mouthwatering Hot Pickle
In my home a side salad and a delicious pickle is a must with our Indian meals. I had these beautiful dates from Woolworths lying in my fridge which is always used for baking some sweet dish. I decide to make a mouthwatering hot pickle out of it. It is sweet, spicy and tangy bursting with flavors all at the same time, made in less than 10 minutes.
