Notes
- Adjust the spices and vegetables proportion as per your taste.
- Make sure, the pickle must be covered with a layer of oil to increase the shelf life.
- This pickle tastes best when it is fresh i.e. within a month. It can be stored for up to a month or for more shelf life then you need to keep this pickle inside the fridge or put enough oil to completely submerge the pickle.
