  • Let it boil for 5 mins or till it becomes thick. Turn off the flame 
  • Store in an airtight jar once it comes to room temperature and refrigerate it.

Notes:
The pickle stays well for two days in room temperature and many days if refrigerated
If more oil floats on top(as for any pickle) it increases the shelf life
Always use clean spoon every time
Grinding methi seeds and red chillies to a coarse powder gives the pickle a nice crunchy taste 
This is an instant pickle so you need not wait till soaking time
Just make it and serve it
Adjust the spice and sweetness according to your taste.
