- Add the lemon juice to the pickle and mix well.
- Take the pickle mix in a dry container that you are going to store the pickle and close with the lid.
- Keep the pickle in the refrigerator for about 5 days, so that pickle will be well marinated with all the ingredients.
After five days, it is time to add the seasoning to the lemon pickle and by now the lemon pieces are well marinated with all the ingredients and have become softer…
- Heat the oil in the pan & preferable sesame oil / mustard oil but you can use any oil as per your preference and add the seasoning ingredients and fry.
