Answer:
Paheli watched her grandmother pour oil on top of the mango pickle bottle before closing the lid.
Her grandmother did so too as oil acts as a preservative and prevents bacteria to be formed.
This is known as preservation by oil.
Bacteria cannot build in such environment as oil acts as a barrier between the pickle and the atmosphere outside allowing no environmental air or particles penetrate through it.
