Lemon Pickle

Lemon Pickle
One of the easy and traditional pickle is Lemon. Which you can store for months and use it with roti, Indian bread, rice, curd rice...etc. I am sharing an easy way to prepare this pickle.

   There are certain things which you should follow while preparing any pickle such as:
# Always use dry vessel, when you mix ingredients together.
# Wash your lemon well and put it in kitchen towel and ensure that it is completely dry (not even a single drop of water).
# Wooden spoon or spatula should be dry.
# Sterilize your glass bottle well. It should be dry.
# For pickles, jam, sauce etc we need to use glass bottles or containers.
(Pl. avoid plastic, which is not good for health)

Ingredients:

Lemon - 18-20 medium size
Salt - 2 tablespoons
Turmeric powder - 1 tablespoon
Hing/ Asafoetida - 2 tsp
Red chilli powder - 1 .5 tablespoons
Fenugreek powder - 1 tsp
Gingerly Oil - 3 tablespoons / 50 ml

Method:
# Cut lemon into 4 pieces.

# Add salt and turmeric powder and mix well, keep it in glass container and cover it tightly ( for three days shake well and keep it a side). 

# After 3-4 days, put it in a wide vessel.

# Add chilli powder, asafatedia, Fenugreek powder / methi seeds powder, and mix well.

# Heat gingerly oil and switch off the stove. Allow it to cool completely.

# Mix oil with other ingredients and mix well, store it in sterlized bottle.

In another 2-3 days your pickle is ready to serve.
