  1. This time we want to undergo a variation so we followed your method instead of frying the gooseberries. Will they be soft when cut. How many days I have to wait to eat the pickle completely matured. Also I liked the name you used ‘kaur’ when I commented earlier :):) I would like to be called by this name.

    1. fine kaur 🙂 they are not soft like the fried ones. there is a crunch. but after a month, the gooseberries start becoming soft. but still some crunch is felt. you can have after 10 days.

      1. Thanks a lot. Maybe according to me if gooseberries are left marinated either spices for a week or two before adding oil they will be comparatively soft. Please try to add lemon pickle too. We foodies love it a lot.

      1. Hello maninder kaur, but sorry to dassana amit for interrupting to this question.
        Generally speaking mustard oil is not considered edible in US/ Canada.
        Mustard oil contains C22 acid (arachidic and behnoic acids), which likely causes blood to deplete in white-blood cells which are responsible for immunity.
        It does not mean you cannot eat at all, but there is limitation on how much you can eat, (I would limit it to say less than 3 ml per day = 1 tea spoonful).
        I have also seen other recipes of pickles where mustered oil was an ingredient in recipe. I would suggest, take it with a pinch of salt. Even I will try using mustered oil with other oils, not just alone.
        thanks to dassana amit for recipe, which I will try.

        1. thanks for the info sunny. i was not aware. however, in north india, mustard oil is added to quite a number of recipes. we also make pickles with mustard oil. in fact we fry pakoras also in mustard oil. i have not gone too much into research and all, but indians have been using mustard oil for centuries now 🙂
