Notes

1. Instead of coriander, you can add mint which adds great freshness.
2. You can also add bay leaves, dry chillies or cloves, for that additional spice punch.
3. You can also add thinly sliced carrots, cucumbers, tiny cauliflower florets etc to pickling liquid, although you might have to keep it longer to pickle.
4. Adding a slice of beetroot deepens the colour and gives vegetables a pink hue.
