My Tip:
- In tempering, Add dry red chilli first in hot oil, asafoetida should be added at the last otherwise it will get burnt.
- Mustard powder always should be half quantity of red chilli powder for pickle.
- In pickle, I always add salt higher than normal taste. It make my pickle better.
- Pickle should be kept in a sterilised dry jar so that you can keep pickle for few months to a year in normal temperature.
- Pickle is ready to eat after cooling. But it will give you the best taste after couple of days.
