Hi... Welcome to Godavari's kitchen.
Today, i am going to prepare lemon pickle.
We have taken 35-40 lemons.
Lemons are properly riped and yellow in color.
We have made hot water ready.
Put lemons inside hot water.
Hot water helps to remove bitterness from lemons.
We will keep it in hot water for 5 minutes.
5 minutes are over now.
Now, we will take lemons out from hot water.
You can feel slippery surface which means bitterness is removed.
That is the reason, we need to keep lemons in hot water.
Wipe lemons dry using cotton cloth or towel.
Cut lemon into 4 slices.
Remove seeds from lemon.
Seeds make pickle bitter so its good to remove it.
Similarly, we will cut remaining lemons and remove seeds from it.
Now we will add spices in lemon.
In this, i have added 1 cup ready made pickle spices which is easily available in market and
1 cup red chilli powder and
1 cup salt and
2 teaspoon turmeric powder.
Mix it well.
Now, add 1/2 cup cumin seeds powder
and 1/2 cup saunf powder which we have fried and grinded in mixer.
Mix it well so that spices are mixed properly in all lemons.
Now, spices are mixed properly.
Transfer it into glass container.
Always take glass container for storing pickle so that it will stay for longer period.
Add 1/2 glass lemon juice.
I am not adding oil in this, as with oil taste is not that good.
That is the reason, i add lemon juice.
Shake it well.
Keep it in sunlight for 2-4 days.
Lemon pickle is ready.
Keep it in sunlight for 2-4 days.
In between, shake it well so that spices are mixed properly.
Pickle will be ready to eat in 10-15 days.
Shake it well in between helps spices to mixed properly.
Always take yellow ripe lemon for pickle.
Thank you.
