> I don't know if there's a global equivalent to the Indian pickle

Most old-world cultures have a spiced, fermented foodstuff. Japan, China and Korea, for example, are full of them. Many ingredients in modern Indian pickles were originally imported from the North Africa of antiquity.

Even in America, the “classic” dill-pickled cucumber is a very small fraction of the fermented vegetable foods.




Closest to Indian pickle I know of is Persian "turshi".

It is a mixed vegetable, herb and spice pickle. However unlike Indian pickles, tempered spices and mustard aren't involved.

Makes sense to me as they're close geographically.
