Healthy turmeric ginger pickle – we all know health benefits of turmeric. it is a very important ingredient in most of the Indian recipes and a must in Indian spice box. It is anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, protects against cancer, heart problems, and Indigestion. Same can be said of ginger and garlic. All these foods are super foods and help to keep us healthy.

The best thing about this pickle – all the ingredients are in their raw form and hence we can enjoy their maximum health benefits. It is also very difficult to make your kids eat these pickles. Adding green chilies takes care of that. This pickle not only increases health quotient of your food but also add spice and flavor to your daily meal.

We have used fresh turmeric in this recipe. I used to make instant ginger pickle regularly. when day when I was discussing the health benefits of  fresh turmeric with my aunt in law( who taught me to make amla candy) she suggested adding garlic and fresh turmeric/haldi to ginger pickle.
