  • Add the mustard oil and mix all the spices well using a spatula or spoon. Do not use your hand for mixing. The oil can be added as it is in the pickle. If you want to reduce the flavor of the mustard oil, you can first heat the oil and then let it cool completely before adding. However this might lead to a slightly viscous pickle.

After around 4 days the pickle will reduce and go to the bottom of the jar. The oil will start floating on the top. If the oil is less and does not cover the pickle completely then you can add 1-2 tablespoons of mustard oil to it.
