Very innovative... lucky Indu!
ReplyDeleteVery new recipe to me and am sure I would love this,for sure seena!
ReplyDeletethats a new recipe to me...have always tried sweet preparations of date- never anythign savory or spicy.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds so different to me. Never tried this before. Looks so good... YUM!
ReplyDeleteNever heard about it...looks yummy...
ReplyDeletehi, I love dates pickle. My mother makes this, but she adds grated carrots to make carrot-date pickle. Your recipe is slightly different too, and I would love to try this:-)
ReplyDeleteDates pickle sounds unique with sweet and spicy flavors.
ReplyDeletehelo.. Seena.. Did u use coconut oil.. not gingely oil..??
ReplyDeletethanks a lot
Won't adding water spoil the pickle faster ?
ReplyDeleteThanks friends! Ann,Jeena,Sam and Happy, Try out and let me know, it seems many haven't tried dates pickle yet! :)
ReplyDeletePurnima, adding pepper corns is good, I had it in mind, but in mom's version, no pepper.. :)
Indu, Hope u have opened the dates box.. ok, come back.. :)
Veena, mail me Lakshmi Nair's recipe to me.. me too like her recipes.. :)
Anu, Raj, Priyanka,Sukanya,Vijaya,
thanks ! :)
Shreya, I have seen some added carrots, but I love carrot pickle alone, now am trying to get that recipe.. :)
Sure yasmeen, sweet, spicy and sour delight! :)
Ras, Ellenna (gingelly oil) is good, bcos it won't allow pickle to spoil easily. But we mostly keep pickles in fridge after 3 or 4 days, so wouldn't add Ellenna. More over, I hate oil accumulated on top of pickle, as u see when we buy ready made pickles.. :)
Ramki, thats why added previously boiled water! :)
dates pickle? Never heard of it. Looks so delicious Seena! Next time when I get dates I am trying this. Bookmarked.
ReplyDeleteok.. thanks..

ReplyDeleteHi Seena,
ReplyDeleteI had been searching for a date recipe which I had tasted during a muslim wedding. I was told its not a pickle. It had a sweet taste and heard it is a usual accompaniment with biriyani or neichor! DO you know of any such recipe? The wedding was in Malapuram!
Thanks

"Hey Thanks Seena...Even i was searching for dates pickle.My hubby loves this...This looks awesome.."
ReplyDeleteJyothi
Thanks a lot for the receipe...
ReplyDeletewhen I tried it came as a thick paste and not as a heavy liquid..May be I tried in a flat pan..that could be the reason.
It was good neverthless..

It may be bcos you have used very ripe dates.. :)
