Garlic pickle or "lehsun achar" is a popular Indian condiment made from fresh garlic cloves that have been pickled in a mixture of oil, vinegar or lemon juice, salt, and various spices. The garlic cloves are first peeled and then sliced or crushed before being mixed with the other ingredients to make a flavorful and tangy pickle. The spices used in the pickle can vary depending on regional preferences, but commonly used ones include mustard seeds, cumin seeds, fennel seeds, red chili powder, and turmeric. The pickle is typically left to mature for a few days to allow the flavors to develop and the garlic to soften. Garlic pickle is commonly enjoyed as a side dish or condiment with Indian meals, particularly with rice and dal, or as a topping on sandwiches and wraps. It is known for its pungent and spicy flavor, and its tanginess helps to balance out the richness of other dishes.
