  • Add in chilli powder and mix well with the oil.Now add in salt, jaggery and mix well. Keep this cooking till oil separates from the mixture. It will take around 20 to 30 mins .
  • Now switch off the flame and let them cool down.Store in a air tight container in fridge.Serve with rice and curry or curd rice. 

My Notes:

  • Make sure that the containers and spoon you are using should be dry.
  • I didn’t use vinegar in this recipe,if you are going to use the pickle for more than 6 months then add a tbsp of vinegar. If you handle it properly vinegar is not required.
  • Whenever you are taking the pickle for serving just mix it from top to  bottom and then take the required quantity so that more oil will not come to the spoon.
