Nepali pickle

So, you know how sometimes your mom or dad make pickles out of vegetables like cucumbers? Well, in Nepal, they make pickles too, but with different vegetables and spices.

Nepali pickle is made with things like radish, carrots, cauliflower, and even green tomatoes. First, they clean and cut up the vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Then, they mix them with spices like mustard seeds, turmeric, and chili powder.

After mixing everything together, they put it in a jar and let it sit for a few days. This is called "pickling." During this time, the spices soak into the vegetables and make them taste really yummy!

When it's ready, you can eat it as a side dish with your meal. The pickle is a little bit sour, a little bit spicy, and really good for your body! It helps your digestion and can even boost your immune system.

So, next time you see your mom or dad making pickles, remember that people in Nepal make pickles too, but with different veggies and spices! Try some Nepali pickle if you get the chance, and you might just love it!
