Salgam Ingredients
Salgam Preparation
1. Prepare the Carrots
Wash the black carrots thoroughly and cut them into sticks or rounds. Place them in a large clean jar.
2. Make the Brine
In a separate bowl, mix the water with salt until the salt dissolves completely. You can add spices if desired.
3. Combine Ingredients
Pour the brine over the black carrots in the jar, ensuring they are fully submerged. Add lemon juice and the fermentation starter if using.
4. Ferment
Seal the jar loosely and let it sit at room temperature for about 5 to 7 days, checking daily. Taste occasionally to determine when it has reached your desired level of fermentation.
5. Store
Once fermented, seal the jar tightly and store it in the refrigerator. The salgam can be enjoyed chilled as a refreshing drink.
