About Garlic with Chilli Pickle

This traditional Bhutanese pickle combines two powerful ingredients - garlic and chili - to create a bold, flavorful condiment that's an essential part of Bhutanese cuisine. The pickle is prepared using traditional methods that preserve the natural flavors while creating a complex, tangy, and spicy taste that enhances any meal.
