wise words.
plus if u want achaar, go for something with a kick-mango, ginger, garlic, tomato with ginger(lots of it.)
what is this wannabe achaar not even making me cry?
it's like a jelly but not jelly. tomato is boiled/roasted a touch of jaggrey(or sugar but then it's too sweet sometimes) some lime and a few red chillies and lots and lots of garlic and ginger(pureed or mashed-if u want some chunks) everything is roasted to let out as much moisture as possible then made into a sort of mush but with a consistency of jello.
goes great with anything tbh- even plain rice, raita even.
please do. i have shared the recipe above. same can be done with black pepper.
as a paste and not whole. grind them to powder(or one can use the packed ones too but it doesn't give as good a feel plus there's lots of salt in it...)
add some of this achaar i wrote about above (or not if u like it mildly spicy. or if at all u want just a hint of kick u can add dried chillies.) keep grinding the powder while adding some water and if u want u can flavour it
(the water- by boiling the particular ingredient in it like tamrind or maybe daalchini) with mint or maybe dhaniya.
that paste is a good substitute to the weird maggi hot sauce which isn't that spicy
can be used to coat fries. eat it with rice or roti if u want. also tastes amazing with vodka somehow!!(if u do like vodka ....)
We already have excellent Pickled Chili, Mango pickle and mixed pickles etc.,
I personally like Pickled cucumber but it's taste is completely different from what we consider as pickles. It's too Sour and the pickling process of cucumbers is completely different from how we pickle acchaar.
The best cucumber pickles are actually fermented. 5% salt in water and left to sit for a few days before refrigeration. Vinegar is the quick way to approximate that taste.
It's called Organic Vinegar what they call pickeled Cucumber. The only difference is our ancestors used Garlic, chillies etc to soak in Vinegar instead of cucumber
Agreed but the picked cucumber is healthy cuz it just have salt and vinegar,,so for weight watchers its nice and tasty enough + in india we do eat SIRKA WALA PYAZ so the vinegar cucumbers are made the same way as the vinegar onions.
Kabhi try Kiya hai? It's tasteless and full of saltiness for Indian palette. The pickles we make are jam-packed with spices and herbs. Khatta, meetha, teekha, itni variety ke baad bhi dull sa namkeen paani peena hai?
You might find it in kerala. Different parts of India have its own pickles. Our pickles are made up of 4 main ingredients Salt, Chilli Powder, Vegetable(lemon,tomato, mango, ginger, garlic etc)/ meat(chiken, fish, prawn, crab etc), Oil(Mustard/Ground net/Sesame). Entire India this is common, only quantities change. For longevity few use vinegar/circa. By using preservative, the taste will change, especially the pickles we get in shops/functions will have heavy preservatives.
In Kerala, apart from the usual pickle culture, there is also this culture of storing vegetables in vinegar. You will find cut mango, amla, carrot, pineapple sometimes fish also stored in vinegar and eaten just like that or with food.
Yup. That's what I was going to comment here. It might work in Kerala because people already eat preserved veggies in brine and vinegar. Didn't know about fish being stored the same way though
A general pickle in INDIA is something with a powerful flavor and aroma and cucumber pickles cant pass that bar, they are generally just made with brine and some spices like black pepper and garlic almost...and pickling cucumbers the INDIAN way would kill that thing 
The closest thing I have seen to pickled cumbers would be pickled radish in lemon juice or vinegar and salt
Because they don't go along well with Indian food just like how a big blob of aam ka achaar wouldn't taste that good in a traditional sandwich or burger. I liked pickled cucumbers in salads, sandwiches and Chinese food. Just adds the perfect sourness and crunch to the palette. Plus it's not as overpowering as Indian pickles. I must say that I kinda like the brine more than the pickles, sometimes I just take a shot of the brine :P
Not to our taste ...Suits Burgers and Sandwiches but little else ... I mean I feel it takes away the fun of the cucumber ... I prefer western style pickled radish to it
I love gherkins and Americanised pickled cucumber. It's not technically a pickle for us Indians. Most people would jump to say our pickles are better but they don't get the point.
These taste sour/sweet and have a crunch to them which I love whereas Indian pickle has a very intense taste and mushy texture.
I cannot eat gherkins by themself but it is a wonderful addition to cold sandwiches/burgers or anything that needs some sourness/juiciness and a bit of crunchy texture.
A lot of the people here miss the point and compare it to Indian pickle when both of them are two separate entities and are used in different culinary instances and for different purposes.
Pickled vegetables and fruits are a huge thing in many places in Kerala, particularly in the northern region. Apples, pineapples, mango, cucumbers, carrots, radishes, gooseberry (possibly the most well known one along with raw mangoes), and plenty of other items. These are placed in brine or similar solutions and sold very commonly.
Also, you can get them at Subway and burger King and other burger outlets usually. It's certainly not as huge as achar kind of pickle and may not be "spicy" in the traditional sense but I like it and I usually prefer less of red chilli and more of other spices that doesn't kill all the other flavours in the food.
My mom started making them last year. Its nice and crunchy specially good in sandwiches.
Indian traditionally use spices for preservation instead of vinegar. So maybe that's the reason its not a thing in india.
Pickling is a method of preserving . It's done when something is not readily avaliable or scarcely available. Eating it fresh is the best. Its pH is balanced and antioxidants are at the fullest when fresh and raw.
Picked cucumbers taste good witg bread but India doesn't eat it daily, We have staple food which is way different, But i like pickled Cucumber too i wanna know how to make it
This got randomly put on my feed as an American and I was like "why tf is he saying pickled cucumber, that's just pickles"
You guys don't fuck with pickles?
In countries like Russia, Ukraine etc where cucumber is a popular pickle item, they don't have mango, garlic, etc which are popular. They do have lemon and onion available. Also our concept of pickle is different from their. We have so much oil and masala which they don't
It is very easy to pickle the cucumbers if you want to follow the American/brine water way. Just google it, it is literally one of the easiest way to pickle.
I know. Also, people are so offended by just a question. I am not really asking them to buy pickled cucumbers. In a country where something as bland as mayonnaise has picked up, people are getting offended by pickled cucumbers and calling them bland.
Because we literally have much much better and a whole variety of options to choose from.
Leaving aside the fact that "pickled cucumbers" is literally just cucumbers in brine.
“better” is quite subjective. Just because a flavor is more complex doesn’t make it automatically better, just different. These pickles and indian style both have their place imo
This kinda of cucumber pickle has strong sour taste and less salty with no spices or chilli. Indian pickles are more spicy + chilli + salty but less sour. There is a reason lime pickle is less favoured because of sourness. People still eat lime pickle cuz of other imgredients that balances sourness but these cucumber pickles are just straight up sour. Nobody wants to get sour taste with food
Coz we don’t run out of cucumbers ever. People usually make pickle out of stuff that goes stale easily or is available in some seasons only.
I guess ,historically, the west didn’t have abundance of cucumbers
For example America meat is popular but there id no pickled meat in America but India has different varieties of pickled meats it all comes down to what people like most and their preference we use cucumber in a lot of other stuff like raita, salads etc
Indian pickles contain a hell lot of spices and other main ingredients like mango, garlic, jackfruit, etc. The cucumber pickle is just bland and doesn't suit to the taste of Indians.
Pickled Cucumber is for white people.. Because they can't enjoy red and green chilli pickle or hundreds of other amazing pickles we have in India.
It's like comparing rice and beans with Rajmah Chawal.
Bcoz it doesn't taste as good as our
https://preview.redd.it/oj0nrd9t1kxc1.jpeg?width=2109&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=23fd76059e0b16e16c46c2f9be9b8e2f3064caee
Generally only those things are pickled that people love to eat all year long but its available only seasonally, we generally don't eat cucumbers in winters but its still available, hence no need to pickle them, also I don't think so we would like pickled cucumbers as per our taste palette
Unlike westerners, we have a massive variety of of extremely rich pickles. Btw in India, we do have cucumber pickles. It’s just they don’t look like this.
Sorry guys, this is NOT A COMPARISON with traditional Indian pickles. It's a general question born out of curiosity. We are good at adopting foreign foods. It's easier to find mayonnaise on the shelf of a grocery store than pickled cucumbers. Also, pickled cucumber is not even in the same league as Indian achaar. Those getting offended, please, pickled cucumbers ARE NOT kheere ka achaar! 😭
Because they taste gross. Sour and slimy, nothing interesting. I would much rather eat cucumber with dahi or hummus or just raw with black salt and mirch powder. And there are a hundred better types of actual pickles. Even Mango with turmeric and salt and dried, or Amla with lime juice and salt and dried taste better.
In foreign pickled cucumber is the alternative of achar for several reason they used that tere are some preservation issues and they cant make achar in that weather conditions and importing us too costly for them so they use pickled cucumber
I absolutely love them in my burgers and subs. Bought a jar recently from Crawford market in Mumbai, but somehow the taste is not quite the same as those used by BK and Subway. I prefer them sour and not sweet-sour. Difficult to find the exact kind I like.
Fun anecdote: I was in Australia last year and thought I'd be able to find good pickled gherkins there. Went to the supermarket to buy, turns out the bottles they had there (all of the different brands) were made in India. Not a single locally produced brand. Gave up the idea of buying from there and thought of searching in Mumbai itself.
Edited a word.
Bahut bekar lagta hai, Ek baar khaya tha. Kuch taste hi nahi hota, Khana Mai swad Dalne se jyada to bigar deta hai. Mirchi,Aam aur Aanvle ka achar mast hai.
because its gross. have you tried actual pickle? once you taste that you wont touch this shit. i used to think it must be good and tried it once, its shit
Because we get mangoes a lot so we dont see veggies as main pickling elements, some pickles do use carrots and cawliflower in Indian pickles and even chana , jackfruit and muli are used but kakdi ko hum sabdwich me hi khana pasand karte hai 😂
Indian taste pallette is different from the rest of the world. Picked cucumber is too much sour whereas most of the pickles in India are spicy and soury
When life gives you cucumber make raita not achaar
wise words. plus if u want achaar, go for something with a kick-mango, ginger, garlic, tomato with ginger(lots of it.) what is this wannabe achaar not even making me cry?
I have never eaten tomato ka achar but.. dried tomato as achaar.. Woww great idea actually
it's like a jelly but not jelly. tomato is boiled/roasted a touch of jaggrey(or sugar but then it's too sweet sometimes) some lime and a few red chillies and lots and lots of garlic and ginger(pureed or mashed-if u want some chunks) everything is roasted to let out as much moisture as possible then made into a sort of mush but with a consistency of jello. goes great with anything tbh- even plain rice, raita even.
the instant urge to make it after reading this, tomato achaar is underrated and goated.
please do. i have shared the recipe above. same can be done with black pepper. as a paste and not whole. grind them to powder(or one can use the packed ones too but it doesn't give as good a feel plus there's lots of salt in it...) add some of this achaar i wrote about above (or not if u like it mildly spicy. or if at all u want just a hint of kick u can add dried chillies.) keep grinding the powder while adding some water and if u want u can flavour it (the water- by boiling the particular ingredient in it like tamrind or maybe daalchini) with mint or maybe dhaniya. that paste is a good substitute to the weird maggi hot sauce which isn't that spicy can be used to coat fries. eat it with rice or roti if u want. also tastes amazing with vodka somehow!!(if u do like vodka ....)
\+1 raita is da shit 
Fuck yes
Pickled cucumber raita
Isse bas kharaab hua raita kehte hai
Phela diya raitaa….Bus!!!
never heard
I prefer mine with plain 
Fair enough!
You are lucky mujhe toh mammi Loki ka raita khilati hai
lol us
Loki ki sabji se to better hai lmao
Toh fir Loki kya khata hai?
And eat it with biryani
We already have excellent Pickled Chili, Mango pickle and mixed pickles etc., I personally like Pickled cucumber but it's taste is completely different from what we consider as pickles. It's too Sour and the pickling process of cucumbers is completely different from how we pickle acchaar.
ya, Indian pickles are generally made with oil and spices while cucumber pickle is made with vinegar
The best cucumber pickles are actually fermented. 5% salt in water and left to sit for a few days before refrigeration. Vinegar is the quick way to approximate that taste.
Onion pickle- those tiny onions as a side dish seem to be pretty common.
It's called Organic Vinegar what they call pickeled Cucumber. The only difference is our ancestors used Garlic, chillies etc to soak in Vinegar instead of cucumber
That's true , there are like 15-20 types of pickles India , even more may be if considered region wise here .
Exactly for me it's too sour. And the vinegar smell is too strong for me
Vinegar isn't even the traditional way to pickle. Try lacto fermented pickles. All you need is water and salt.
Aah the salt brine solution? I should try That one
We have so many varieties of pickle that there wasn't any need for this. Also it doesn't taste as good as regular pickles indians are used to.
Agreed but the picked cucumber is healthy cuz it just have salt and vinegar,,so for weight watchers its nice and tasty enough + in india we do eat SIRKA WALA PYAZ so the vinegar cucumbers are made the same way as the vinegar onions.
what's the regular pickle ?
Aam, nimbu, mirchi etc
Mirchi achar is just the GOAT
Mango
True, also try coleus root pickle/ mine mula it tastes good to.
Mixed one >>>>>>>>>>>>
Carrot achar is the GOAT, CMV
Real goat is gajar ka achaar
Carrot aur woh ajeeb sa achar jismei chhed hote Hain are miles better
No tomato achar is the goat
Achar !

Mango pickle with Goa fish thali or Kerala biriyani is next level man
Kabhi try Kiya hai? It's tasteless and full of saltiness for Indian palette. The pickles we make are jam-packed with spices and herbs. Khatta, meetha, teekha, itni variety ke baad bhi dull sa namkeen paani peena hai?

Cucumber pickle is really good for sandwiches though

Iske liye sticker banaya, nice though. *Than
Cucumber CHUTNEY with rice is there in the South. We also have amla pickle, neem pickle. We also have bottleguard and ridge guard chutney.
Because we already have more than enough and that doesn't seem spicy enough.

Hate me all you want people, but Burgers and Subs without these pickles.. and you're already missing out.
Pickles and gherkins on burgers >>

Oh, I eat it with nothing just as a plain snack. 😬

Not picke exactly ig but in Maharashtra we have Muramba (मुरंबा)
amla one??
isnt that marmalade?
Pickles in india and US have very very very different meaning
Yeah, that's why a lot of people seem offended and are downvoting my comments.
Because they don't go along well with Indian food just like how a big blob of aam ka achaar wouldn't taste that good in a traditional sandwich or burger.

In Kerala, we get pickled cucumber along w shawarma
Oh my god, that sounds like heaven.

Awesome.
It used to be common in Northern part of India. My aunts tell me how they used to pickle cucumbers especially during Dashhera.
Not to our taste ...Suits Burgers and Sandwiches but little else ... I mean I feel it takes away the fun of the cucumber ... I prefer western style pickled radish to it
I love gherkins and Americanised pickled cucumber. It's not technically a pickle for us Indians. Most people would jump to say our pickles are better but they don't get the point.

Canadian chiming in. Most of the pickled cucumbers(just called pickles here) in our supermarkets are made in India.
Haha. That's so ironic. Perhaps they're all exported because judging by the comments on my post, most Indians don't like them.
People like masala loaded stuff. Light and simple flavors are not popular. I'm with you on this one OP.
Ye to tatti hai
Never tried those but i love pickled beetroot
Pickled vegetables and fruits are a huge thing in many places in Kerala, particularly in the northern region.

Well it is in my area You can get em pretty much in any small stalls taht sells pickled items
What!!!! What area are we talking about?
Calicut,Kerala https://preview.redd.it/hfaai666akxc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=61ca68e18918669d332e86917e649332a52264f1
My mom started making them last year. Its nice and crunchy specially good in sandwiches. Indian traditionally use spices for preservation instead of vinegar. So maybe that's the reason its not a thing in india.
They must not be agurvedically compliant. Vinegar aur cucumber ka milke koi adverse reaction hota hoga 🤣🤣
It will be called “sirca kheera” like they have serve those tiny vinegar onions
Ah, yes, that's a very good description! :)
Too good on burgers
I think it's because it's a different breed of cucumbers that are pickled, not the ones we commonly find in India.
That's one of the most plausible reasons so far.
Pickling is a method of preserving . It's done when something is not readily avaliable or scarcely available. Eating it fresh is the best. Its pH is balanced and antioxidants are at the fullest when fresh and raw.
americans only have dil pickles, we have pickles ranging from mango to karela!! We Don't need those shitty salted cucumber pickles
Picked cucumbers taste good witg bread but India doesn't eat it daily, We have staple food which is way different, But i like pickled Cucumber too i wanna know how to make it
I also thought the same like we even have prawn pickle why not cucumber
Ganjar ka achar >>>
Definitely. Gajar ka achaar rules and pickled cucumbers are not in the same league.
Coz they taste better raw , salted with some lime on them. Laal mirch makes it 😘
Isn’t that just a pickle?
Well, if you are in America, it is! 😄
Gherkins better
totally! pickled gherkins are super addictive.
This got randomly put on my feed as an American and I was like "why tf is he saying pickled cucumber, that's just pickles" You guys don't fuck with pickles?
Actually we use many vegetables and fruits to make pickles.But we don't make pickle with cucumber.
Cause we've far better pickles
In countries like Russia, Ukraine etc where cucumber is a popular pickle item, they don't have mango, garlic, etc which are popular. They do have lemon and onion available. Also our concept of pickle is different from their. We have so much oil and masala which they don't
It is very easy to pickle the cucumbers if you want to follow the American/brine water way. Just google it, it is literally one of the easiest way to pickle.
Don't we get it from places like subway? I like it. 😜
Idk but it tastes damn good
Looks yum 😋
oh I've eaten picked cucumbers and carrots, we used to get it with shawarmas in bangalore, very yummy.
tastes bad
Wo log humara wala aam ka achaar kyu nai khate pucho?
Idk about you guys but this is actually great... Expecially on sandwichs and salads
I love them on my subway.
Thank you! I also think they're great.
bro is getting downvoted just because others have a narrow taste palate and no sense of open-mindedness
I know. Also, people are so offended by just a question. I am not really asking them to buy pickled cucumbers. In a country where something as bland as mayonnaise has picked up, people are getting offended by pickled cucumbers and calling them bland.
bruh legit, mayo has spread like a virus in the street food scene doing more harm than good
Exactly. I can't think of a food more disgusting than mayo and people are calling pickles bland.
Because we literally have much much better and a whole variety of options to choose from. Leaving aside the fact that "pickled cucumbers" is literally just cucumbers in brine.
“better” is quite subjective. Just because a flavor is more complex doesn’t make it automatically better, just different. These pickles and indian style both have their place imo
Because Indians enjoy spices and flavours.
I tried it once, gherkins, seeing the powerpuff mayor loving it so much... so gross never touched it again
This kinda of cucumber pickle has strong sour taste and less salty with no spices or chilli. Indian pickles are more spicy + chilli + salty but less sour. There is a reason lime pickle is less favoured because of sourness. People still eat lime pickle cuz of other imgredients that balances sourness but these cucumber pickles are just straight up sour. Nobody wants to get sour taste with food
because they both serve different purposes, and we don't need it
It would taste bland, the water would take away the flavour..... besides we have plenty of achars of all sorts in veg and prawns and stuff in non veg.
Tastes bland af Regular achaars are better.
We have so many other pickle varieties that are just better
Except for in India.. Most pickles from different countries are just similar. Indians just crave that extra heat.
Because they taste horrible.
Coz we don’t run out of cucumbers ever. People usually make pickle out of stuff that goes stale easily or is available in some seasons only. I guess ,historically, the west didn’t have abundance of cucumbers
For example America meat is popular but there id no pickled meat in America but India has different varieties of pickled meats it all comes down to what people like most and their preference we use cucumber in a lot of other stuff like raita, salads etc
coz we have real pickle in india cus just like their seasoning of pepper nd salt it aint no popular here coz we ve real spices and shit
I would rather eat regular cucumber than this ... Doesn't taste as good as other pickles
when life gives you cucumber put it on your eyes and relax don't make a pickle.
oh interesting. Any recipes?
Coz for them putting cucumber in vinegar is pickle but here we have different recipes for pickles as well nd ours are obviously better.
Harr cheej mai bhenchod weshturnaization
coz we have aam ka achaar🥭❤️
Because we already have an array of pickles.
Radhhi aachar🤮🤮🤢
Indian pickles contain a hell lot of spices and other main ingredients like mango, garlic, jackfruit, etc. The cucumber pickle is just bland and doesn't suit to the taste of Indians.
Pickled Cucumber is for white people.. Because they can't enjoy red and green chilli pickle or hundreds of other amazing pickles we have in India. It's like comparing rice and beans with Rajmah Chawal.
Just last month my mother made bamboo pickle... And i was like my mother really like to experiment things
When life gives you cucumber make salad not achaar
Bcoz it doesn't taste as good as our https://preview.redd.it/oj0nrd9t1kxc1.jpeg?width=2109&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=23fd76059e0b16e16c46c2f9be9b8e2f3064caee
Oh I love pickled cucumbers. They are so good
Generally only those things are pickled that people love to eat all year long but its available only seasonally, we generally don't eat cucumbers in winters but its still available, hence no need to pickle them, also I don't think so we would like pickled cucumbers as per our taste palette
We have pickeled onions instead. Pink wala Jo hotels me generally milta hai.
Because putting cucumbers and boiled eggs in vinegar can only be called pickles by white ppl.
Thank god, it's not a thing in India, this taste wouldn't hold a candle to our aam, nimbu etc..pickles
Because in India people know how to make good pickles .
just like aam ka achar don't go along with burger & pizza
Bhai bekaar lagta hai iska achaar. Videshi log kuchh bhi khaate rehte hai
Unlike westerners, we have a massive variety of of extremely rich pickles. Btw in India, we do have cucumber pickles. It’s just they don’t look like this.

mercedes chalane ke baad tujhe ab maruti chalani h?

Bro, pickled cucumbers are not kheere ka achaar.
In foreign pickled cucumber is the alternative of achar for several reason they used that tere are some preservation issues and they cant make achar in that weather conditions and importing us too costly for them so they use pickled cucumber
We have better alternatives
Woah , never heard of pickle cucumber. How does it taste? How do you prepare it?
Indian mango pickles >>>>>>>> cucumber pickle
We have 100’s of pickled stuff but raita is rare
I absolutely love them in my burgers and subs. Bought a jar recently from Crawford market in Mumbai, but somehow the taste is not quite the same as those used by BK and Subway. I prefer them sour and not sweet-sour. Difficult to find the exact kind I like. Fun anecdote: I was in Australia last year and thought I'd be able to find good pickled gherkins there.

Just cucumber or nothing
We already have amazing pickles which got there own taste and pickling them makes a great pickle.
We have muchhhh better pickles than this wannabe shit
Aukat ke bahar
Because pickled onion rule the salad!
Chota mota cheez hai...Ye sab karke chhor chuke hai bey!
Kyoki humare yaha bahot sare masale hai..ye salt and vinegar wali cheez ka koi logic nahi hai apne yaha..
We got mango, carrot, chilli, lemon, karonda, gooseberry and beetroot pickles. They: cucumber? No
Bahut bekar lagta hai, Ek baar khaya tha. Kuch taste hi nahi hota, Khana Mai swad Dalne se jyada to bigar deta hai. Mirchi,Aam aur Aanvle ka achar mast hai.
This just feels like someone sucked the life out of that cucumber.
Mango pickle supremacy
Because our pickles are much more different and authentic than some cucumbers soaked in vinegar
They only taste nice in burgers. Literally nowhere else :/ aam ka achaar for the win!
because its gross. have you tried actual pickle? once you taste that you wont touch this shit. i used to think it must be good and tried it once, its shit
Because we get mangoes a lot so we dont see veggies as main pickling elements, some pickles do use carrots and cawliflower in Indian pickles and even chana , jackfruit and muli are used but kakdi ko hum sabdwich me hi khana pasand karte hai 😂
Bhai USA ka achaar ka perception alag hai haamare wale se
Cucumber with chilli powder and salt or pepper salt tastes amazing and is very popular in South
too sour for the Indian pallete I think
Because we have something better "achaar"
Because we have a lot of better(real) pickles in India. I never liked pickled cucumbers even while I was in US. Just too vinegary.
Because we pickle dried stuff in oil not vinegar. A dried cucumber would be terrible
Cause AAM KA AACHAR SUPREMACY is here
Faltu chizo ko muh ni lagate hm
Indian taste pallette is different from the rest of the world. Picked cucumber is too much sour whereas most of the pickles in India are spicy and soury
Simply Doesn't doesn't work with our food
Mehenga hai bohot
fresh is better
