Notes

Chop vegetables in thick slices so that vegetables should not be mushy
If you are not using optional vegetables then increase the quantity of carrot and raddish or decrease the quantity of spices accordingly.
We are adding carrot first because it takes more time to cook then other vegetables we are using.
If you don’t have enough sunlight keep it inside the room for 6-7 stays
Keep stirring the contents of the jar 2-3 times a day with the help of a dry spoon
This pickle lasts only for 4-5 days if kept at room temperature. So you can refrigrate it for longer stay.However suggestion is to finish it in 4-5 days and make a fresh batch after that.
Keep the pickle in a dry place.
