Combine the vinegar, sugar, mustard seeds and ½ cup water in a saucepan. Bring to the boil, remove from heat and leave for a few minutes for the mustard to infuse. Add the karkalla to the pickling liquid, being sure all are covered with it. Allow to sit for at least half an hour or overnight if possible before use. Store in a sterilised jar if not using immediately, will keep for 2 to 3 weeks.
