Lime Pickle

Homemade Pickles are the best. I always prefer them because they are fresh with less sodium and other preservatives. Lemon pickle is one of the easiest pickle to make at home. If you have a bag of lemons lying around in your pantry you can pickle them and store it in the refrigerator or gift it to your friends
Ingredients:
• Lemons: 6
• Salt: 5 tsp.
• Chili powder: 5 tsp.
• Turmeric pinch
• Hing: 1 tsp.
• Fenugreek seed (Methi): 1 tsp.
• Sesame Oil: 5 tbsp.
Directions:
1. Cut lemons into small pieces and remove the seeds. Add salt and keep for about 12 hours.
2. Add chili powder, turmeric, and methi
3. In a pan heat the oil and throw in the mustard seeds and asafetida.
4. Spread this mixture over the lemons.
5. Mix thoroughly and transfer this to the glass bottle
6. Keep this in sunlight for 3 –4 weeks ( inside the home where you get bright sunlight)
7. Every day with the help of a dry spoon mix the pickle nicely and close it.
8. No need to keep in the refrigerator.
9. After 4 weeks the skin of the lemon  will be soft and the lemon must have absorbed the spices.
10. Now keep it in the fridge and enjoy with rice.
