Lemon and dates pickle is a delicious sweet-and-spicy Indian pickle made by combining tangy lemon pieces with soft, naturally sweet dates. The lemons are marinated and cooked with dates, red chilli powder, ginger, garlic, mustard seeds, and aromatic spices, then preserved in oil.
This pickle has a perfect balance of sourness from lemon, sweetness from dates, and mild spice, making it very flavourful and unique. Lemon and dates pickle pairs well with rice, chapati, dosa, idli, and curd rice, and is popular in Kerala and South Indian households for its rich taste and long shelf life.
