Otherwise, it takes too long for the ginger to soften up. And it overpowers the other flavours in the pickle. While choosing the green chili we make sure it’s a variety with less seeds inside.

Ingredients dried first to remove moisture, then combined with mustard oil and hand-roasted spices, then matured under open sun in Darbhanga. The Lal Mirch Lahsun takes the longer route — an additional 1–3 months aging in glass martabaans after sun-drying, which deepens the garlic heat without reducing it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Oal Barobara and Lemon Mix follow the same sun-drying method.
