Ingredients

• 4 medium-sized Cucumbers
• 1 large Carrot
• 1 small Red onion
• 5 pieces Bird's eye chilies
• 0.5 cup White vinegar
• 0.5 cup Water
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 teaspoons Stevia
• 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric powder

Directions

Step 1

Start by washing the cucumbers, carrot, and red onion thoroughly under running water.

Step 2

Peel the carrot and slice it into thin matchsticks. Alternatively, you can also grate the carrot for a finer texture.

Step 3

Slice the cucumbers lengthwise and remove the seeds using a small spoon. Then, cut them into thin semi-circles.

Step 4

Peel and slice the red onion thinly.

Step 5

Slice the bird's eye chilies into thin rings. If you prefer less heat, you can deseed them before slicing.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cucumbers, carrot, red onion, and chilies.

Step 7

In a separate bowl, mix together the white vinegar, water, salt, stevia, and turmeric powder until well combined.

Step 8

Pour the vinegar mixture over the vegetable mixture and toss well to ensure all ingredients are coated.

Step 9

Transfer the mixture into a clean glass jar with a lid. Press down gently to pack the vegetables slightly.

Step 10

Seal the jar and let the Acar Timun marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 11

Before serving, give the jar a gentle shake or stir to redistribute the pickling liquid.

Step 12

Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish or condiment alongside your favorite meals.
