Preparation time: 12-15 minutes, Cooking time: 25-30 minutes, Serves: 4








Tips:








Traditionally this dish is cooked in mustard oil. If it is difficult to obtain mustard oil, any other oil could be used. Although the north Indian pickle has whole spices, some people prefer to roast and then coarsely grind the whole spices to use in the above recipe. For a less spicier version simply the amount of red chilli powder can be toned down.
