Add the mustard and garlic-ginger pastes, black cumin, bay leaves, salt, red chillies and sugar. Mix well and set aside in a pickle jar for sun drying for 4-5 days.
Heat the mustard oil in a pan and fry the whole garlic cloves.

Comments

Jhuri Achar is a pickle that is unique because of its "jhuri" or fibrous texture. The mango is grated into thin slices and is used to make the pickle. It is not exactly spicy, but rather tastes sour. It is served with pakoras, samochas and shingaras.
