Quick Onion Pickle

0


Mostly pickles long time to get ready and requires lots of prep. I tried one easy and simple version of making pickle and to start with I chose onion. My pickle was ready to eat in just 24hrs and requires no pre or post preps too.
Here goes the receipe:
















6 Medium onions
2 Tspoons  mustard seeds (crushed)
1-1/2 Tspoons  red chilli powder
1/2 Tspoon turmeric powder
Salt as per taste.
1/2 Tspoon kalonji (optional)
2 Tspoons  mustad oil.

Method:

Slice, chop or cut the onions as per your own requirement. In a large bowl, mix well all the ingredients mentioned above  except oil.
Heat oil on low flame for about 2-3 minutes(smoke should not form while heating the oil, else oil ll become bitter in taste). Pour oil on onion mixture. Mix well. 
Fill a transparent jar with above mixture. Keep it in warm place for one day (24 hrs). Dont keep in dark place like  cupboards.


Tips: In between 24 hrs, if onions starts releasing water, then shake the bottle or jar well, so that water gets mixed properly.
