Method
- Cut vegetables into small, bit-sized pieces. Place in large bowl and sprinkle with salt. Mix well, cover and leave in a cool place for 24 hours. Rinse with cold water and drain thoroughly. Blend cornflour, turmeric, mustard powder, mustard seeds, cumin and coriander to a smooth paste with a little of the vinegar.
- Put the rest of the vinegar into a saucepan with sugar and honey and bring to boil. Pour a little of the hot vinegar over blended spice paste, stir well and return to pan. Bring gently to the boil. Boil for 3-4 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and carefully fold in the vegetables. Pack into warm sterilised Kilner® Jars and seal immediately.
