Notes | FAQ
- Turn off the flame before adding the powders, else they might burn and turn bitter.
- For fenugreek powder, you will have to dry roast fenugreek seeds in medium heat. Do not let them turn brown, they will taste bitter. Let them come to room temperature. Then grind them in a dry grinder/mixie to a fine powder.
- Adjust salt and chilli powder quantity as per your taste.
- A nicely tart apple lends the best flavor to this pickle.
