Homemade Lemon Pickle is a great Condiment loved by all. Pickle lovers do it all by themselves if they can. And it's always done with both Lemon and Mango Pickles in Summers by me. I had been following this recipe of my grandmother ever since I started it myself for my family. My hubby is an ardent Pickle lover. I make different Pickles mainly for him.
After two Weeks this is ready to be consumed and it keeps becoming more yummy and delicious as it ages. This is just perfect for everyday meals. Not only Rice, Khichdi, Parathas, Puris etc, it goes well with many snacks too. It's tangy, spicy and lip-smackingly delicious. The tartness of the Lemons will be very well balanced by the Chilli. You will love it for sure.

Enjoy Pickling with Zeen!

The lemons will release a lot of water. And over the stipulated time of a Week or two, the lemons would become soft and tender. After two Weeks, it is time for tempering.

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
