    Hi- I tried making it but my pickle is too tart (Khatta)
    What could be the reason.? Did not put as much oil as suggested also.

      Hi Rafiya – the pickle is tart due to it being largely lemon based. If it’s turned out way too tart – I’d guess it’s because of the type of lemons used. Some lemon varieties are tarter than usual. You can tone it down by adding some oil to the pickle.

    @Sara-no need to cook the oil,but if you wish you can cook and then cool it down before adding ,but don't use mustard oil in this pickle.

    The pickle looks absolutely mouth watering!! I am planning to try out the recipe today but have one tiny query. Do we have to cook the oil that is to be added to the pickle in step 4?
