Instructions
-
Wash the cucumbers and optional green chilies very well. Trim only the ends (top and bottom) of the cucumbers.
-
Prepare a clean glass jar. Place the whole or sliced garlic cloves in the jar. You can also add optional mint leaves or celery leaves.
-
Add the prepared cucumbers and optional green chilies to the jar.
-
In a separate bowl, prepare the brine by combining boiling water with salt, vinegar, and sugar.
-
Stir well to ensure the salt and sugar dissolve completely. Do not wait for the water to cool; use it hot.
-
Pour the hot brine directly over the cucumbers in the glass jar, ensuring the cucumbers are completely submerged.
-
If desired, add chili powder/flakes for extra heat. Seal the glass jar tightly.
-
Flip the sealed jar up side down for a short period to help mix the contents.
-
The pickled cucumbers will be ready to eat the next day. Once ready, slice the pickled cucumbers and transfer them to a storage container. Store in the refrigerator.
-
When serving, add a dash of any oil and chili paste (harissa) on top for extra flavor, if desired.
