Also i have added tamarind extract and a tsp of sugar(you can skip sugar) or you can add jaggery.

roasted methi seeds powder in this recipe is the high light,you can check how to roast the methi seeds for making the pickle. Really we need patient while making the methi seed powder because there are chances to burn sometimes if we fry that in high flame.
