Grind mustard seeds and fennel seeds in a blender to make a coarse powder.

Fill the pickle in clean glass jars.
Keep the jar in sunlight for 3-4 days.
The pickle is now ready to use.

Tips:

• You can add ½ tbsp. vinegar in the spices. It works as a preservative and increases the shelf life of pickle.
• Here is no need to add mustard oil, if you want you can add.
• Radish releases juice when it comes to contact with salt. If you don’t want extra juice leave radish pieces with salt for 10-12 hours before step 4. After that strain all juice. Then add all the spices into pieces.
• Always use dry and clean jar.
