How to Make Karela Pickle?
1. Rinse and drain 250-grams of Karela. Cut the heads from both ends and slice the karela into 1/2 cm of width.

2. Transfer the sliced pieces of karela into a bowl and add 1 tsp salt and mix well. Cover and leave them for 1 hour.

3. After an hour, strain the karela using a strainer to drain out the released bitter water. Leave the pieces in the strainer for 5 minutes.

4. Lay a cloth over the tray and place the sliced pieces on the tray one-by-one to dry.

5. Dry the slices under the sun for 1 hr or 2 hrs under the fan. Next, prepare masala for the achaar.

6. Heat a pan, add 4 tbsp Saunf, 1 tsp methi, 1 tsp jeera, 1 tsp ajwain to the pan, and saute the spices over the low-medium flame while stirring constantly.

7. Add 3 tbsp of yellow mustard seeds, 1-pinch hing, 15-20 black pepper, and roast it slightly.

8. Take the masala out in a bowl once roasted, and allow it to cool. Put the masala in a mixture jar and coarsely crush the spices.

9. Heat 1/2 cup mustard oil in the pan. When you can see visible smoke coming out of the oil, turn off the flame and allow the oil to cool a bit.

10. Once the oil cools a bit, add 1 tsp turmeric powder, karela slices, ground masala, 1 tbsp Kashmiri red chili, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp black salt, 1/2 tsp Kalonji, and mix everything properly.

11. When the pieces are well-coated with masala, transfer them to a bowl, add 2-lemons juice extract, 2 tbsp of vinegar, and mix well.

12. Cover the achaar and keep it in the sun for 3-days or keep it inside for 3-days.

13. After 3-days, add 1/4 cup oil in the achaar if it seems short of oil.

14. Store it in any glass container, ceramic pickle jar
