Lemon pickle is a traditional and aromatic delicacy made by pickling fresh lemons with salt, spices, and oil. This pickle is loved for its unique combination of tanginess, spiciness, and subtle bitterness, making it a staple in many households.
The preparation involves cutting lemons into small pieces and mixing them with ingredients like red chili powder, turmeric, mustard seeds, fenugreek, and asafoetida. The mixture is then preserved in oil and sometimes aged for weeks to develop its rich and intense flavor. Some variations include additional ingredients like jaggery, green chilies, or ginger to enhance the taste.
Lemon pickle pairs well with rice, roti, parathas, and curd rice, adding a burst of flavor to any meal. Its long shelf life and refreshing taste make it a popular choice for both homemade and store-bought pickles.
