Requires 1 day advance notice
This South Indian lemon pickle is made with semi-ripe Lemon chunks, slow-cooked with Sesame oil and a bold blend of Mustard seeds, Fenugreek seeds, and Kashmiri Chilli. Every bite bursts with tangy citrus and warm spice that wakes up your taste buds. The Ginger, Garlic, and Asafoetida add deep, earthy layers that deepen as the pickle matures. It is the kind of homemade condiment that makes even plain rice feel like a full meal.
