Just sprinkle little water, and you can use the next day.

K, u can place the soaked beans in a hot pack directly without using muslin cloth.

Dev, the pickle will keep well in a fridge.
I have kept it for months, till good.


Dev, I have not tried hot packs.
I usually use muslin cloth, or any cloth that
will hold little wettness will do.

Thanks, kugan98
