This unique pickle is made by mixing different fruits like raw mangoes, olives, tamarinds, amra and karamcha.It is mixed with various spices like dry chillies, fenugreek seeds, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, ginger and garlic. Pickle is prepared by frying these ingredients in ghee or mustard oil, which adds a wonderful dimension to its taste.
