This is one of my favourite pickles that I had growing up as a child. I have very sweet memories of my grandmother making this every summer and keeping the pickle jar on the terrace that soaked the sun and cooked slowly into a spicy-tangy preserve.
Try it, maintain it and you'll love the fruits of your patience, not efforts - since it requires none!
This doesn't have any oil like many other fresh pickles require.
Ingredients:
6 limes - quartered
8 lime juice
4 tsp salt
3 tsp red chilly powder(adjust based on how spicy you want)
1 tsp turmeric powder
1.5 tbsp sugar
1 tsp roasted cumin powder
2 tsp asafoetida powder
Method:
1. In a clear glass jar, mix the lime juices with salt, sugar, red chilly powder, turmeric powder, cumin powder and asafoetida powder. Shake well.
2. Add the quartered lime wedges to the juice and shake well.
Maintenance:
1. For first 15-20 days try to keep the jar in sun for two-three hours. Shake the jar every day.
2. After 20 days, leave the jar on the kitchen counter and shake every few days.
Fresh pickle should be ready to eat in a month.
If you want it to be well preserved, you can even leave the pickle in a cool place in your pantry for up to two-three years. These old pickles taste the best and have the most wonderful textures. And kids love it!! Try it - it'll hardly take 10 minutes of your time today ;)
