Steps

1

Wash and pat try tendli. Cut them lengthwise. Spread on a kitchen towel under the fan for 1-2 hours
2

Dry roast all the whole spices just for few minutes to remove moisture from them. Cool and make a coarse powder.
3

Heat up oil, add asafoetida followed by tendli pieces.
4

Cook on medium flame until all the moisture dries off.
5

Add chilli powder, turmeric and salt. Lower the flame.
6

Add all the group spices. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Switch off the flame.
7

Add vinegar and mix. Add sugar now if you are adding. Let it cool down totally.
8

Store in a glass jar. Keep it in sunlight for 3-4 days. Tendli will get slightly soft n pickle will be ready to eat.
9

To increase the shelf life little extra oil to cover the pickle will help. Or you can refrigerate it and use for a longer time.

Experimenting with the ingredients and using them as a flavour enhancer is something I love doing. A great energy booster- I crave to improve my skills with every new recipe that I create in my kitchen.Follow me on Instagram as m0nas_cabana
