GENERAL
FOR THE MASALA
Put all the vegetables together in a bowl, cover with fresh, cold water and set aside for 1 hour. Drain the vegetables well and leave them in a colander.
Put the masala spices together in a mortar or strong bowl and grind to a paste with a little of the vinegar, using a pestle or the end of a rolling pin.
Heat the oil in a large frying-pan over a medium heat and cook the bay leaves and garlic for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add the masala paste and fry for a further 5 minutes, then add the sugar, vegetables, peppercorns and remaining vinegar.
Season with salt and cook over a low heat until the vegetables soften.
Remove the pan from the heat and leave to cool. Transfer the pickle to clean jars and cover with a non-metallic, airtight lid.
Store in a cool, dark place.
