* Take a glass jar and put the salted lemons into it. Please ensure that the glass jar should be dry and clean. Any amount of moisture may spoil the pickle.
* Now place the salted lemons in sunlight for atleast 7- 8 days,(6- 9 hrs sunlight is sufficient to make the lemons soft)
* If there is less sunlight, the lemons should be placed more in open area for atleast 10 days.
* Shake the glass jar twice a day to ensure proper mixing.
* After 7 days, add 1 kg sugar, 2 teaspoon carom seeds, 3 teaspoon black pepper, 2 tablespoon kashmiri red chilli powder, 1 tablespoon asafoetida
