    Preparation Steps

    1

    Thoroughly wash the black and purple carrots in cold water. Peel them and cut into thin strips or small batons.

    2

    In a large glass jar, layer the carrots, dried chili peppers, garlic cloves, bay leaves, black peppercorns, cumin seeds, and coriander seeds.

    3

    In a saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the salt, brown sugar, and vinegar. Stir until the salt and sugar are completely dissolved.

    4

    Pour the hot brine over the layered ingredients in the jar, ensuring that everything is completely submerged.

    5

    Seal the jar and let it sit at room temperature for 3-4 days to allow the flavors to meld.

    6

    Afterward, store in the refrigerator and serve cold, either on its own or as a side dish.
