Lemon Pickle
Lemon Pickle is a tangy, zesty, and spiced condiment that is a staple in Indian households. This pickle combines the natural sourness of lemons with a medley of aromatic spices, resulting in a vibrant burst of flavor that pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes.
The preparation begins with fresh, juicy lemons that are cut into pieces and mixed with salt to soften their peel and intensify their tanginess. A blend of spices, such as red chili powder, turmeric, fenugreek seeds, mustard seeds, and asafoetida (hing), is roasted and added to the lemons, enhancing their flavor profile.
The mixture is preserved in mustard oil or sesame oil, which not only adds depth to the taste but also acts as a natural preservative. The pickle is then allowed to mature over several days or weeks, allowing the flavors to meld and develop complexity.
Lemon Pickle is a versatile accompaniment, pairing well with rice, chapati, paratha, or curd rice. Its tangy, spicy, and slightly bitter notes make it an irresistible addition to any meal, offering a taste of authentic Indian culinary tradition.
