Dev, I think...it could be the mixed veg achaar you are referring to. The veggies are blanched in boiling water which has a pinch of turmeric. They are then dipped in cold water after which salt and vinegar are added according to taste.

Yeah, just for a couple of days it is fine. Thats what friends in another forum told me.
But you need to transfer it from the can- to a glass or plastic container with lid.
