Grapefruit Pickle

Grapefruit has a similar taste as Gadaranga.   So tried making pickle with grapefruit

Ingredients

Grapefruit.                   -     2
Red Chilli powder.     -      6 tablespoons
Mustard seeds.           -       1/2 tsp
Asafoetida.                  -        small gooseberry size
Salt.                               -      5 to 6 tablespoons
Mustard seeds powder -  2 tsp
Turmeric powder.         -  1/2 tsp
Fenugreek seeds powder-  2 tsp
Sesame seeds oil.           -    1/2. Cup

1.  In a pan add 1/2 tbsp oil and saute the whole grape fruit till it changes colour.

2.  Cool the grapefruit completely and chop it into small chunks

3.  In a pan add the rest of the oil. When the oil is hot add mustard seeds and when the mustard seeds crackle add asafoetida when it changes its colour to golden brown and puffs up remove the Asafoetida from the pan.  Switch off the flame.  When the oil cools a bit add red chilli powder and turmeric powder.  Let the oil cool completely

4.  Add the oil mixture, salt, mustard powder and fenugreek powder to the chopped grapefruit mix it well and store it inside the fridge in an air tight container.  Make sure the bottle with a plastic lid is well washed and dried completely to store the pickle.  While using the pickle for daily use transfer a little amount to a smaller bottle and use it with a plastic spoon.  Do not handle the pickle with wet hands to avoid the pickle to become stale or develop molds.  In this way you can store the pickle in the fridge for 6 months
