Notes

Note-
  1. I have used  yellow rai kuria as it gives a nice colour to the pickle but if you dint have rai kuria then can use black mustard seeds .
  2. you can adjust the quantity and ratio of vegetables as per your choice ,but the water level should be at least 3-4 inchs above the vegetables.
  3. Can add raw carrots and radish or can blanch them if you wish .
  4. You can also add boiled suran/yam , shakarkand/sweet potato,and kachalu in this pickle.
  5. Turnip can be added instead of radish.
