Ingredients

  • 1 kg lemons nimbu in Punjabi
  • 250 gram sugar
  • 100 gram salt
  • 1 tbsp red chilli powder
  • 25 gram ajwain
  • 5 gram cloves roughly ground

  • 10 gram cumin seeds roasted and roughly ground
  • 10 gram black pepper roughly ground

Instructions

  • Please make sure that all the bowls, spoons, jars and knives that you use during the preparation of the pickle are completely dry before you use them. Even a hint of water will completely spoil the pickle.
  • Wash the lemons and dry them completely.
  • Cut the lemons into three different ways: cut 1/3rd of the lemons into four pieces, cut 1/3rd of the lemons into four pieces but still attached at the top and cut the remaining lemons into halves.
  • Mix together the spices, salt and oil.
  • Add the oil and spices mix to the lemons and make sure to mix it well so that lemon pieces are coated with oil and spice mix.
  • Store the pickle in a glass jar. (Please only use the glass or the ceramic jar. Please do not store the pickle in metal or plastic containers as it will spoil).
  • Set the pickle in a dry, cool place.
  • It takes a full year for the pickle to be ready
