hallo friends,welcome to secret of samayal
today we are going to make  a tasty pickle...lemon pickle
pickles increases our appetite
in our food culture pickles have an important role
everybody likes pickles
that too lemon pickle helps in digestion too
let's see how to make this tasty lemon pickle now
i have chopped 7 lemons into small pieces
you can chop according to your wish
i have chopped into 8 to 10 piece out of 1 lemon
add 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
always use a glass jar or ceramic jars when preparing pickles
plastic is also ok
but don't use any metal vessels
add 2 tblsp rock salt ,powdered
mix well
this has to soak well in the salt for about 7 days
mix well daily once
mixed well now
lets close with lid and keep for 7 days
don't forget to mix it daily
after 7 days
see,it has soaked well ans left lots of water
let's temper this today
ingredients
1 tsp mustard seeds
i'am making less quantity,so adding less
you can adjust the quantity accordingly
i have taken 2 types of chilli powder
1 and 1/2 tsp kashmir chilli powder for bright red colour
this is normal red chilli powder 1 tsp
little aesafotida
1/4 tsp fried fenugreek seeds,we have to powder this
crushed the fried fenugreek seeds to powder
this should be added in little quantity,or else it will give a bitter taste
one more tip is,remove the seeds from lemon while chopping
seeds too give a bitter taste sometimes
when the lemon is soaked well in salt it won't be bitter
try this way and there will be no bitterness
add 2 tblsp sesame oil in a kadai
pickles taste good when tempered in sesame oil
you can use normal oil too,but try to use sesame oil for a better flavour
oil is hot,add the mustard seeds
it has to crackle well
add the soaked lemon
let it cook for a min
add a generous amount of aesafotida
aesafotida gives a unique flavour
after a min simmer the flame and add the chilli powder
mix well
the pickle looks colourful,because of the kashmir chilli powder
if you don't have kashmir chilli powder,add normal chilli powder
add the fenugreek powder
after adding chilli powder switch off the stove
our pickle is ready now
after it cools down completely store in an airtight glass or plastic container
if you think the oil is less you can add hot oil now too
if there is a layer of oil over the pickle while storing,it will last for long time
