Cooking Tips:

 

  1. Ensure that the vegetables are thoroughly cleaned and dried before marinating to prevent the pickle from spoiling.
  2. Use fresh and firm vegetables to achieve the best texture and flavor in the pickle.
  3. Toast the whole spices before grinding them to release their essential oils and enhance their flavor.
  4. Adjust the amount of chili powder and other spices according to your preference for spiciness.
  5. Allow the pickle to mature for at least a week before consuming to allow the flavors to develop and intensify.
  6. Store the pickle in a clean, airtight glass jar and keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  7. Always use a clean, dry spoon to remove the pickle from the jar to prevent contamination.
  8. If you prefer a milder pickle, you can reduce the amount of chili powder or omit it altogether.
  9. Experiment with adding other vegetables or fruits like green chilies, mangoes, or ginger to customize the pickle according to your taste.
  10. Enjoy the pickle in moderation as it is high in salt and oil content.
