Some pointers when making pickle

 
Always use well wiped and dried utensil

for cooking and storing pickle in.

Use more oil while making pickle. 

Oil acts as a preservative. 

So its good if some oil floats on top

of the pickle bottle.

By frying meat well, you can store

 meat pickle for longer time.
