Sweet lime pickle is a tangy and sweet condiment made from sweet limes, also known as mosambi or sweet lemons. This pickle is commonly found in Indian cuisine and adds a burst of flavor to meals.
To make sweet lime pickle, the sweet limes are washed and cut into small pieces. These pieces are then mixed with spices such as salt, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and fenugreek seeds. Some variations may also include ginger, garlic, or other spices based on personal preference.
The mixture is usually stored in a sterilized jar and left to marinate for a few days, allowing the flavors to blend and develop. Over time, the lime pieces soften and absorb the flavors of the spices, creating a delicious and tangy pickle.
Sweet lime pickle can be served as a side dish or condiment with meals. It pairs well with various Indian dishes, including dal, rice, roti, and curry. Its tangy and sweet taste adds a refreshing element to the meal and complements the other flavors.
The pickle can be made at home or bought pre-packaged in stores. It is a popular choice among pickle enthusiasts and those who enjoy the combination of sweet and tangy flavors in their meals.
