Green peppercorns pickled in brine. A South Indian pickle that preserves immature green pepper picked fresh off the vine. Best served with rice and yogurt.
Wash the peppercorn and dry them by wiping gently with a towel, making sure the stalks are intact. Keep aside.
In a pan, bring the water to a boil and add the salt and turmeric powder. Simmer for a couple of minutes and take it off the heat. Allow the brine solution to cool down.
Add the lemon juice and stir well. Pour this into a sterile glass bottle/ jar. Put the peppercorn stalks into the bottle/ jar, ensuring they are completely submerged in the solution.
Close the bottle and keep it at room temperature. After a week, the pickle is ready to be served. This pickle does not require refrigeration. The peppercorn stalks will change to a somewhat dull and dirty greenish colour after being in the brine. This is normal and doesn't change the quality of the pickle.
