Lemon pickle is a classic Indian pickle made using fresh lemons, salt, red chilli powder, mustard seeds, and aromatic spices, preserved in oil. The lemons are cut into pieces and cured with salt to release their juices, then mixed with a spicy masala, which develops a rich, tangy flavour over time.
This pickle has a bold sour, spicy, and slightly salty taste and is loved for its strong aroma and long shelf life. Lemon pickle is commonly served with rice, curd rice, chapati, dosa, idli, and kanji, and is a staple in Kerala and South Indian households. 🍋🌶️
