Ingredients
  

  • 1 cauliflower
  • ¼ cup red bell pepper diced
  • 4 garlic
  • 1 tablespoon ginger sliced
  • 1 cup white vinegar
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 2.5 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon chilli flakes
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • ½ teaspoon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon fenugreek
  • 2 cups water
  • 2-3 bay leaves

Instructions
 

  • Using a sharp knife, cut the cauliflower into small florets, and chop the bell pepper into squares.
  • In a large saucepan, combine vinegar with a cup of water and add in the aromatics, bay leaves, mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds, red pepper flakes, salt and sugar and
  • Now add in the rest of the seasonings and bring the brine up to a boil.
  • Next, add in the cauliflower florets and bell peppers and simmer for a few minutes. Then take it off heat.
  • Allow this to get to room temperature and then transfer it to a glass jar.
  • Cover it with a lid and refrigerate for up to 10 days.

Notes

  • The cauliflower pickle gets its bright yellow color from the curry powder. Since all curry powders are different, I would recommend starting out with just a little to get the right color, and then adding more if needed. 
  • Make sure all the cauliflower florets are submerged in the pickling liquid. Doing this will help it stay fresh for a longer time. 
  • While the pickled cauliflower is ready to eat right away, I would recommend letting it stay for a day or two before you serve it. Doing this will help the veggies soak all of the pickling liquid, and turn slightly soft too.
