Preparation
Grind black cardamom, cinnamon stick, cumin seeds, and cloves into a coarse powder.
Making the Pickle
Heat mustard oil in a pan until it reaches smoking point, then let it cool slightly.
Add the ginger and onion paste to the oil and sauté until the raw smell disappears.
Add the ground spice mixture, salt, black salt, degi mirch, garam masala, black pepper powder, and asafoetida. Mix well.
Add the garlic and red chilli to the pan and stir to coat them with the spice mixture.
Add jaggery powder and vinegar, and mix until the jaggery dissolves completely.
