Notes

NOTE-
1- If you plan to make this pickle in a large batch then either make it with excess oil so that it is covered with oil or keep refrigerated after a week.
2-You can use any refined vegetable oil instead of mustard oil..
3-If you do not have pickle masala-add 1tsp crushed fenugreek seeds and 1 and 1/2 tbsp of each- salt, mustard powder, chilli powder and crushed fennel seeds (instead of 1 tbsp)
