Fenugreek grape pickle

This sprouted fenugreek and grape pickle recipe has been passed down in the family for generations. It is special because it contains a good balance of all 6 tastes – sweet, sour, salty, bitter, pungent, astringent. 

In addition, fenugreek and asafoetida are both digestive aids. Fenugreek especially is a diabetic friendly ingredient (has been shown to reduce blood sugar levels). Sprouting the fenugreek largely reduces the bitter taste of the seeds and also increases its nutritional value in the process. (See this other recipe that uses asafoetida!)

This pickle can be used as a taste enhancer in wraps/sandwiches, as a dip (when mixed with yogurt) or as a chutney (when diluted and blended) for literally anything!
