Spicy Pickled Vegetable

I had a weird craving for pickles the other day and immediately got on with it. 
Don't be surprised if I tell you that  I ate quite a bit...not quite a bit.
I think I've successfully polished off all the enamel on my teeth.  

This spicy pickled vegetable is  served normally with briyani rice or just plain white rice.
