Ginger-Garlic Pickle

Among the pickles my most favourite one is 'Ginger-Garlic pickle'.I never use or make pickles often,but if i think to make pickles means my choice is always ginger garlic.I never prepared or even tried any pickles before i step into uae.This also i learned it from my sister' Indra' the great cook.She always encourages me

for my new trials and taste it darely and gives her comments.The only thing is my hubby and she always use to say ya,its good,nice etc., and that those words makes me  to assume myself as a good cook.Thanks a lottt for her.I send this recipe to vardhini's ''herbs and Flowers- Garlic'' event.
