of water is enough to spoil the entire pickle.To check if the Red Chili Pickle is done, taste the red chillies. If there is crunchiness in the red chillies, then some more days will be needed for the pickle to mature. The skin of the red chillies should soften due to the heat from the sunlight.
Once the pickle is matured, you can start serving it with your meals.
