September 3, 2011 By Manjooo M Leave a Comment

There are different ways to prepare pickles. Even my mom prepares it in different ways.

You need,

  • Indian lime | Cheru naranga – 20
  • Gingelly oil / Nallenna / Sesame oil – 6 tbsp
  • Mustard seeds – 3 tsp
  • Fenugreek seeds – 2 tsp
  • Garlic – 5 tbsp gratted
  • Ginger – 3 tbsp gratted
  • Curry Leaves of 6 strings
  • Turmeric powder – 1/2 tsp
  • Red chili powder – 4 tbsp ( you can reduce if you dont want it is very spicy )
  • Asafoetida – 1/2 tsp
  • Sugar – 2 tsp
  • Salt to taste


You have to,

  • Clean,wash and dry the lemons .
  • Cut each lemon into 4 or 8 pieces
  • Add these pieces to a bottom thick sauce pan along with salt.
  • Cook in low flame.
  • The juices will ooze out during this process
  • Add 1 tbsp oil, sugar, red chilli powder, asafoetida, turmeric and some more salt(if required)
  • Mix well and continue the process till the juices are absorbed (all should happen in low flame).
  • Heat 5 tbsp of oil in a pan and add mustard seeds.
  • When they pop up add fenugreek seeds and fry for few seconds.
  • Add garlic, ginger and curry leaves and saute for a couple of minutes.
  • Add in the lemon mixture and mix well evenly.
  • Remove from flame and allow to cool completely( 4-5 hours)
  • Transfer that to a clean and dry glass jar and close tightly with a lid.
  • Use dry spoon to take pickle. Serve with rice , kanji or parathas

The below picture was clicked the very first time when I made, the remaining pictures were clicked in the second time

Note:- As we are cooking the lemon in the beginning, no need to add vinegar.
