How to make Lasoore Pickle

Break the stems of the Lasorae, wash them nicely. Take water(enough to submerge all the Lasore) in a utensil to boil. After the water comes to boil put in the Lasore and boil them for 3-4 minutes. Turn off the gas, cover the Lasore and keep them aside. Once they cool down throw the entire water.

We will first put these Lasore in water to make its congee. To make congee boil 1 1/2  or 2 liters of water then cool it. Put the boiled Lasore in a clean-dry glass or plastic container, add 1 tsp turmeric powder, 2 tsp salt, 1/4 red chilly powder and 1 tbsp mustard oil to it. Now pour the cooled water to the Lasore mixed in spices. Stir with a spoon then put on the lid and keep it aside. Sour congee form the Lasore will be ready in the next 3-4 days, stir the pickle once everyday with a dry spoon(cleanliness should be kept in mind while preparing the pickle, this results in its longer shelf life).

We can either drink Lasoore congee or have along with chapati, roti or parantha. Lasore soaked in congee turn sour and yellow in 15 days. The stickiness is also removed from its pulp, take out the Lasore and keep them in a separate utensil and the congee in another.

You can definitely eat these whole Lasore, but if you keep them soaked in oil then these whole Lasoda Pickle lasts for a year or even more.
