According to Pratimaben Saraswat, the process of making a pickle may seem boring because it can be time-consuming, but it is ridiculously easy. Yes, it would be best if you had the patience to go through the process of drying the ingredients in the sun, soaking them in oils and spices, and eventually developing the flavors, finally ageing them for a few days.

But as they say that all good things come to those who wait, the result is advantageous. In pickles Salt and oil play a significant role. Salt adds to the taste, absorbs moisture and prevents the growth of bacteria.

On the other hand, the oil acts as a barrier to keep the ingredients from drying and keeps them moist. Different oils and spices offer different characteristics in pickles.
