Lemon Pickle

Home made pickles are always good and tasty, I used to always wait for holidays  to go to granny's place and taste those Mango and lemon pickles which used to be so unique in taste. No preservatives.

Lime pickle

Fresh lime(large size, thin skin, ripe) - 6

Cut into medium pieces.(Preseve the juice while cutting).Add salt and also the juice of lemon- 4 spoons leave it for 2 days.

3rd day mix it well and add chilli powder - 4 spoons, asafoetida - 1/2 spoon and mix well.

After 2 days of adding chilli powder and asafoetida,  add 1/4 cup of sesame oil and leave it aside.

Again adding oil is optional. I do not add oil.

Store it in Glass or Plastic Jars and store in Refrigerator.

Whenever needed take little and add mustard and asafoetida tempering to it and keep it for serving.

(add mustard seeds to 4 spoons of oil and when it splatters add  

Add this to the pickle and mix)
