thanks for the pickle recipe. Just one question… What is the shelf life of this and do we have to keep in the fridge to prevent it from forming fungus ?
You have to refrigerate the pickle. It stays good for 20 days in the refrigerator. Mix it well, use a dry spoon and take only needed quantity from the fridge.
I too know a LEMON PICKLE without oil. For that only roasted ajwain powder and black salt are added to the lemon, NOTHING ELSE. Store in sterilized glass bottle with cotton cloth below the lid. Put out in the sun for a week. Store in fridge or even outside. This is a traditional pickle which is not only very tasty but healthy too.
