Should I saute mint leaves for a long time?

No, since we are going to cook Pudhina again sauteeing for a minute is enough 

ground GARLIC

I have ground garlic but instead, you can also fine or roughly chop or crush garlic.

WHY KASHMIRI CHILLI POWDER FOR THE SOUTH INDIAN PICKLE VARIETY?

Kashmiri chilli powder is not as spicy as regular chilli powder. Adjust the chilli powder according to your taste.
