After this, filter the peas and spread them on a cotton cloth and dry them under a fan for 1 hour so that the moisture is completely removed.

Heat mustard oil in a pan until smoke starts coming out from it. After this, turn off the gas and let the oil cool down a bit.

Step 3: Add spices

Add asafoetida, nigella, mustard, fennel, turmeric and red chili powder in lukewarm oil. Now add dried peas and salt and mix well.

Step 4: Add Preservative

Add vinegar or lemon juice to the pickle to give it sourness and to preserve it for a longer period. Your instant pea pickle is ready!

3. Correct way to store

After the pickle cools completely, fill it in a dry and clean glass jar. By keeping it in sunlight for 1-2 days, its taste improves further.

Quick Tips:

There should not be any moisture in the peas, otherwise the pickle may spoil quickly.

The spiciness of mustard oil doubles the taste of pickle.
