    Though I haven't made this myself, I've tasted it and must say that it is such a lip smackingly good pickle. Good one.

    It is interesting to see a pickle from a green, we do not get these greens here though I have heard so much about them.

    this vegetable is hardly used in Punjab. Never knew that pickle can be made from it. To Punjabi, It's one of the saag variety...must try it

    I have always liked gongura pickle with some hot rice and ghee. I have only eaten store bought ones. Would love to eat some homemade gongura.

    Love it and is a family fav. But this generates a lot of heat in the body. So we stay away from it when it gets too much :)
