To prepare desi garlic pickle, fresh garlic cloves are carefully peeled and then marinated in a blend of spices. The spice mix commonly includes mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds, turmeric, red chilli powder, asafoetida, and salt. The pickling process allows the garlic to absorb the rich amalgamation of spices, resulting in a condiment that boasts a distinctive taste and a lingering aroma.
