Ingredients

For the gundas
50 to 60 (500 gms.) gundas
2 tsp sea salt (khada namak)

To be mixed into a stuffing
1/4 cup raw mango, peeled and grated
1 cup split mustard seeds (rai na kuria)
1 cup chilli powder
1 tsp turmeric powder (haldi)
1 tsp asafoetida (hing)
1 tsp split fenugreek seeds (methi na kuria)
1 cup mustard (rai / sarson) oil
1 cup sea salt (khada namak), roasted and powdered

Method

For the gundas

Destalk the gundas. lightly crush the gundas using a pestle.
Remove the inside seeds using a sharp knife. since a sticky substance surrounds the seeds, it is advisable to dip the tip of the knife in the sea salt and then remove the gunda seeds.

How to proceed

In a sterilised glass jar, spread half of the stuffing mixture on the base of the jar.
Stuff each gunda with ½ teaspoon of the stuffing mixture and place it inside the glass jar.
Spread the remaining stuffing on top of the gundas.
Press the gunda down in the jar with the back of a spoon so that the oil completely covers the pickle.
The gundas should be kept completely covered with oil because oil acts as a preservative and enables the pickle to be stored for upto a year.
The pickle will be ready to eat after 3 to 4 days.
