Tips and warnings

• Use glass jar always for storing pickle.
• Keep it in room temperature for 48 hrs and then keep it in fridge for months (I prefer this method).
• If the pickle is covered with oil, you can keep it in room temperature for months, as the oil acts as a preservative. 
• When you take the a portion of pickle from bottle, slant the jar and take the carrot pieces without oil.
• Cook it in a medium flame.
• If it is a maiden attempt, start with a small quantity, because, it needs experience to bring the balance in sour, spicy and salty taste of carrot pickle.
  Now, spicy carrot pickle is ready
