Flavor Profile and Texture

The MTR Garlic Pickle boasts a complex, layered flavor profile. The predominant garlic essence, lift by the sharpness of tamarind and heat from red chilies, creates an irresistible combination. The mustard seeds and fenugreek add a slight bitterness and texture, while the blend of spices like cumin, clove, cardamom, cinnamon, and nutmeg build a compelling aroma and depth. The asafoetida ensures umami notes that heighten the overall experience.

The texture is a delightful mix of crunch from the garlic and mustard seeds, with a rich, smooth base courtesy of the edible vegetable oil. Each bite surprises you with a burst of flavors that synchronize perfectly.
