Agurk Salat, danish pickled cucumbers, an easy to make condiment, with fresh cucumbers and vinegar. An instant pickle,that doesn't require any cooking or maturing time, and are ready to use.
Who doesn't love pickles? Indian cuisine, has a wide variety of pickles, pickles that take days to mature to quick pickles like agurk salat. Indian thali is incomplete without pickles.
With summer season at its peak, one can find instant mango pickle in almost every indian house-hold. Then there is this Kerala style mango pickle, also an instant pickle, but uses vinegar.
In South-india we have brined pickles like Turkey berries in brine and Gooseberry in brine. Brine pickles have a longer shelf life and they are very easy to make and great on taste. Even now, i have a bottle of brined gooseberries in my refrigerator, i love to enjoy it with simple curd rice or add it to chutney's.

Agurk Salat | Danish pickled cucumbers
Ingredients
- 2 nos Lebanese cucumbers
- ½ cup white vinegar
- ¼ cup sugar
- ½ teaspoon black peppercorns pounded roughly
- 2 pinches salt

- Wash the cucumbers well. If you prefer, you can peel the cucumbers, but I have left it as such.
- I have used a 250grams jam bottle. Make sure the bottle is clean.
- Slice the cucumbers thin. Fill the jar with sliced cucumbers.
- In a saucepan, take vinegar and add sugar, heat the solution until the sugar dissolves.
- I added 2 tablespoon of water to dilute the strong flavor of vinegar. Take it off the heat. Add salt and pounded pepper to the solution.
- Let the solution sit for 5 minutes, and let it cool. Pour the solution into the cucumber bottle. Let it sit for an hour minimum. Keep it refrigerated and serve it along with meat dishes.
- These pickled cucumbers can be used in sandwiches. They will stay good in the refrigerator for a week.

I understand how the older generation might view our 'rush' for the blogging marathons. The pickled cucumbers sound good but not much demand for vinegar based pickles at home.

Yum! Your pickles look so good. My husband is wanting to plant cucumbers this year, so we should have plenty for pickle making!

This quick pickle sounds like the perfect way to use up the garden cucumbers this summer. With BBQ's happening all summer long, these pickles would be used up in a flash.

I love pickled Cucumbers ! Your recipe looks so easy and I can not wait to make a batch 🙂 Although I had to google Lebanese Cucumbers (unknown to me), but it seems to be more or less the same as our English Cucumbers

I love cucumbers and usually love to use the small size. I must try this way when I have large one.. Sounds so delicious. Perfect when we have things like falafel and shawarma in our home.
