Things keep in mind for processing and storing the pickles :

• Make sure that the containers and spoons, that you are using should be dry. If you use the wet spoons soon it will spoil. Try to use wood or plastic spoon instead of metal, it becomes rustic soon.
• Take care while dry roasting the fenugreek(methi) seeds and red chillies. If it burns,will make the pickle bitter.
• I didn’t use vinegar for pickling recipe, if you use the pickle come for more than 6 months ,add a tbsp of vinegar. If you handle it properly vinegar is not at all required.
• No need to keep the pickle in hot sunlight, just keep it inside the house where you get sunlight is more than enough.
• Whenever you are taking the pickle for serving just mix it from top to  bottom and then take the required quantity so that more oil will not come to the spoon.
• As much as the oil you use to make the pickle long lasting but while serving to drain the oil with a spoon and take only the pickle.
