Pickles are an excellent and delicious way of stepping up the taste ante of any Indian food item. Loaded with fiery spicy and zesty flavours, the scrumptious condiment tastes like a million bucks with pretty much every food. You can pair it with everything right from a basic roti sabzi and khichdi to fancy stuffed parathas and curries as well.
