Method

  1. 1

    If sinki is very dry, soak in warm water for 10 to 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Squeeze firmly to remove all excess water. Finely chop.

  3. 3

    In a bowl combine the chopped sinki with finely chopped green chillies, finely chopped onion, mustard oil and lemon juice.

  4. 4

    Mix well. Taste before adding any salt — sinki is already significantly salty from the fermentation.

  5. 5

    Add fresh coriander. Mix.

  6. 6

    Serve as a condiment alongside rice and dal.

  7. 7

    Use in small amounts — sinki is a condiment, not a main dish.
