The process to follow:

After 5 minutes, I separated the April plums from the water. Then I used a kitchen tissue to wipe the excess water from them. Then I cut them into small pieces. April plums has strong shells, so be careful when cutting them.
At this stage, I added turmeric powder, chili powder and salt to the April plums. I mixed all these ingredients very well. This time, I took care that after mixing them, no extra water comes out.
Then I kept all the mixed ingredients in two separate bowls. Then I put them in the sun for 1 day. I dried them thoroughly in the sun and then started cooking them so the pickles lasts for a long time.
In this step, I started processing the main ingredients to make this pickle. Here I added mustard and green chilies. Then I mashed them very well.
I added some garlic and little water. Then I mixed them well with all the spices and mashed them. I took care to mix the mustard seeds very well. At this time, a great smell came out.
In this step, I will show the process of making some more spices. Here I took some red dry chilies and different kinds of whole spices that we mention as "Panch Foron". Then I put a pan on the stove and put all the spices in it. I fried these spices well for some time.
After frying the spices, a great aroma came out. Then I cooled them for some time and put them in a blender. I crushed all these ingredients very well. It took about 2 minutes to do this.
In this stage, I will show the process of cooking pickles. At the beginning I put a pan on the stove. Then I put some mustard oil there. After heating the oil, I added some crashed garlic. I fried the oil and garlic for some time.
Then I added April plums to the spices. I mixed all these ingredients very well and fried them in oil for some time. Then I added mustard and chili paste to them and cooked for some time.
This time, after the April plums became a little soft, I added some sugar to them. Then I mixed them all together and fried them for some time.

By this time pickles were almost cooked. Then I added 1 cup of vinegar to them. I use this vinegar when making any pickles. Because pickles stay good for a long time having vinegar. Anyway, I mixed the pickles with vinegar very well and cooked it for about 10 more minutes.
