I am curious , usally we are very careful to leave water out of pickle preperations. This has water and still can be stored for so namy days. Wont it form fungus?

Shilpa: This is a very common procedure to make pickle where we want it to eat it immediately after making. Water is not added as it is, it is boiled with salt for a while.

I loved these pickles with any rice items. Thanks for documenting them — am sure some day people will just stop making these at home!!

One thing I noticed — you called it “lonche” . We in Mangalore area call it Nonche . Interesting variation in the words we konkanis use.

Hi Shipa,

I badly want to try this pickle but I am not sure what ambade is . Do we get that in Indian stores ? I live in CA. What is it called if it is available in US ? Is there any substitute ? Appreciate your response.

Regards,
Madhuri.

Shilpa: You can leave out ambade and make with only bamboo shoots. Just add some lemon juice to the bamboo shoot before adding to pickle. I don’t know if hog plums(ambade) are available in US.
