• Sun-dry saunf/ fennel seeds and crush them coarsely in a mortar and pestle.
• Combine all the ingredients and taste to adjust seasonings. Store in a glass jar.
• Mix it with a spoon every day.
• In two or three days the lime juice will be absorbed by the dates and the pickle will be ready to taste.

Wellcure Tip:
