I like juicy pickle as compared to dry one except stuffed chili pickle which can be dry. That’s why I prefer to add lemon juice as compared to dry mango powder ( amchur) in green chilli pickle . I add amchur in stuffed red chili pickle. I also add little vinegar (sirka) in this pickle as it gives good taste and increases shelf life.
