Place a thali over it, and place a weight, like a grind stone or something that is quite heavy.   Leave it for 24 hours.    Remove the vegetables from the brine, and discard it.   Dry the vegetables in the sun for two hours.

Boil 2 cups of salt in 2 cups of water, and continue till the salt becomes forming crystals.   Then add one bottle of vinegar and the minced masala, and boil for ten minutes.   Keep it down, and allow it to cool well.

Put the vegetables in a jar, and pour this salted and vinegar liquid with its contents over it till the top, and the vegetables are immersed in it.   You may add to it, some husked mustard.
