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.
