What happened to fenugreek powder?where do you put that? In oil?
Sorry, forgot to mention it! Recipe updated.
You can add fenugreek powder along with the chilli powder.
What is the shelf life of this product and can we store in room temperature and for how long.
Thank You
Hi Rajesh, sorry for the delayed response.
If you want to keep the pickle for a long time, try to do the following things
1. Skip adding beef stock, and add less than half cup of vinegar instead. (Beef Pickle Preparation, step #4)
2. Fry the beef pieces really well(Initial Preparation, step #5), then the pickle stays good without refrigeration for over a month.
3. If you refrigerate, it stays good for at least 2-3 months.
