Actually Amma this achar was prepared by my father in law . This video was treat for my old memories. I recalled his all tips on your every tip. Amma thank you. He even use to prepare lemon with only salt .
Are you referring to the whole lives in coarse salt? I realize that limes don't soften in the iodised salt we now buy.... even the coarse salt. I am experimenting with Himalayan pink salt!
usually the lemons are slit and stuffed with salt.
Amma he use to Pierce them with some big needle and put salt in the ceramic jar. Within few months the whole lemon use to turn dark brown which was either consumed with curd rice directly.
@@maureensamson4863 you are right , I have tried all the methods but the skin does not soften even after months together .
@@purviiyer5110 can you please give your father in law's recipe
Thanks for bringing this recipe back to life. This was almost extinct. This is the original pickle, nothing to beat it
Thank you Gita ji. Had a bumper winter crop of lemons and despite giving away tons to colleagues and neighbours I still have so many left. Searched TH-cam and saw many famous names but instinctively clicked your video. Best decision. Such a great recipe and clear explanation. Totally idiot proof, which is important to me because too many ingredients confuse me and I end up missing or forgetting something or the other.
if you are planning to make a large batch I suggest adding more oil to it at leats 1/4 inch above layer of pickle for longer shelf life
Thank you, will keep this in mind. Starting off with a small batch in case I goof up. I'm using lemons and they are slightly larger so hopefully the recipe should work the same.
Thank U for such an easy & tasty pickle. The way U teach is so awesome.God Bless U & Yr Family. I just prep.the lemon pickle now. Thks.again
Most welcome 😊
Thank you Gita, I will be trying this recipe out. I love Indian pickles, I have a jar of lime pickle that is 8years old still going strong , it’s delicious. Hope you bring more recipes for pickles for us to try.
Susan Wood in the fridge or its kept room temperature??
Thank you! This may work well for the limes on our farm. ..they have thick rinds!
I hope you don't mind me sharing my experience hereand a memory too!
In one of your videos you had shared a recipe using drumstick leaves and mentioned that they were not easy to obtain.We have an abundant supply but didn't usually use them though we enjoy the drumsticks. I started using them after your video and also cooked some and shared with the farm workers.
My memory is of my mother teaching people to cook ...and eat..drumsticks in Jodhpur. Our quarters had a drumstick tree! That story is over 60 years old!
You could choose a local variety of drumstick and plant a few seeds in a pot. It would give you leaves at least. As it grows larger maybe it could be planted on a small vacant area. You would get drumsticks within a year!
Wishing you all the best!
@Maureen Samson Thank you for your lovely comment. I don't even remember when I was last was able to eat drumsticks. I liked a preparation made with ground 'burned/roasted' coconut pieces, roasted raw rice, red chilies, turmeric etc and cooked in coconut milk. I live in the US in a state with a pretty harsh climate where it is impossible to grow tropical plants, so when nostalgia for old familiar foods strikes me, I just close my eyes and re-create then in my memory. Enjoy the beautiful bounty of your drumstick tree!
@@theinkbrain Thanks for your appreciation!
My friend and her husband in California have tried to grow drumsticks...not very easy, even there! However I think they mentioned an abundance in Hawaii where nobody ate them!
I must share that we struggle with borers damaging the trees and this variety does not like the heavy and prolonged monsoons....hence my advice on a local variety, which seems to do better!
All the best and thanks for sharing!
@@maureensamson4863 Is it possible to spray with a solution of neem oil? You can get it from Amazon. Another powerful (and non-toxic to humans) pesticide would be a solution of soaked coffee grounds, tobacco, Listerine solution and a few drops of dish-soap. I would suggest not spraying on the blossoms and this might harm bees. But spraying on the bark might work.... Also garden sulphur might be effective. I don't think there is any antidote for heavy monsoons! Best wishes!
Thanks Maureen.. Here we live in apartments, back home every house would have a drumstick tree in their backyard!Thanks for sharing your lovely memories
@@theinkbrain If you live in Phoenix AZ. You can definitely grow that. I saw that grown in people's yard.
Lovely recipe, thanks. We always have so many lemons on our trees, and never know how to use them except for cleaning and disinfecting purposes. I’ll definitely try this recipe.
Thank you. Just tried this for the 1st time at local Indian Restaurant. Really Really good :) . Just started trying Indian food within the past year. Have had the chicken with spinach and rice for now. Really looking to try more items from menu.
Thank again for posting video.
This is totally a new method of lemon pickle, definitely will try it aunty
i love lemon pickles ❤ remember my indian friend ❤
faru
Super!I remember this is how my mother use to prepare lemon pickle!Our house was full of flavour when the raw lemons were getting roasted!Now a days we buy from shops ready made!
I will surely make it in this method. I have made many times lemon pickle but though it is tasty the skin of the lemon does not become very soft. Thanks akka 🙏
Most welcome 😊
Amazing lemons.....I would love to eat it with your ven pongal and brinjal gotsu
Thank you mam.i am from West indies and I tried this recipe. It was perfect. My grandparents came from north India, therefore we usually use mustard oil and other masalas.
This is really awesome, So simple to do we use to squeeze the juice and mix the spices in the lemon then add the lime juice store it for one week and ready to use no tempering.
The method is unique. I have not this method... even my mom
Will try shortly... we have lots of lemon ...
I have a question! Where do I store it after all?
I have been in India couple of times and really enjoyed the food and your country over all. I have been looking for this recepie. Thank you for your video!
How many days it will preserve, or can I keep in the fridge or I can add tamarind
Explained in such a simple manner! Anyone can grasp it!
Maam I saw many videos.. But I liked this.. Because my amma made this same recipe.. My favourite.. Tiffin during school days.. With chapati Roll.. Lovely.. Thanku so much
Great 👍
Mouth watering !!! Why did you sauté lemons. A small doubt
They will soften faster
I made this pickle last week. It is very good, and so easy to make. I can't wait for it to mature completely. I'm making another batch tomorrow.
Please store in the fridge for a longer shelflife
thank you aunty,,, very simply u explained , very helpful for beginners, just like me, i couldnt stop my self from subscribing ur channel and hit the bell icon after seeing this video. thank you
Welcome to my youtube family Mangalam
Dear Amma,We did the same process as you have showed in this video, But on top became black fungus,Please let me why it had happened?
When you store for long time please add more oil on top about 1/4 cup additionally. Also, store pickle in fridge so that it doesn't get spoilt easily
Ok,Thank you so much Amma.
Thanks for sharing this recipe. Lemon pickle is my son's favourite pickle. I will try this south Indian recipe of lemon pickle.
Hope you enjoy
Super very nice with curd rice and you are making different method of lemon pickle it is so easy to prepare thanks for sharing this recipe
Thank u ma’am for showing traditional time tested receipts There are a treasure
GIta mam...A mouth watering delicacy....😍😍
We Sri Lankans too love lime pickle. I like this way too. Have had it. But wasn't sure of the method. Want to try this. Tks Getha. ✌❣🤗🙌
My pleasure 😊
Iooks sooo good and tempting... Sooo simple ... Thank you madamji....
Good evening mam.very happy to see you.will try the lemon pickle mam.thankyou.
How wonderful your kitchen must smell... I would love to sit there while you cook.
I didn't even know you could brown a lemon... we just don't do it! I think this is like for us preserving lemons... we just do it with the salt and pack it in a jar.
I looked up hing a few months back and I want to use it a little worried though. I am with or without the hing going to try this.
You bring so much to me Thank you
Store it in the fridge for a longer shelf life

Hello Geeta Aunty.
Very nice and easy way of making pickle.
Thanks for Sharing
Geeta mam very tasty pickles u hv shown thanku mam u explain so well.
I have watched countless videos on lemon pickle but this is unique. What is the purpose of saying in oil before cutting ? Will it help to soften the skin fast . My lemon pickle does not soften even after months together ? Please help ..
Dear Amma, Very nice,Mouth melting pickle, and I loved amma's small pot's, Thank you so much.
Nice to have you back Mdm Gita. Can we use small limes ? Always wait for your new receipes, thank you.
limes should preferably have a thin skin
Great recipe Gita Ma'am! Most importantly, it was very heartening to see you look as healthy and beautiful as ever - after the few weeks break, you looked very tired and we all had mentioned. But touch wood, you are glowing and rocking too! Also, we could hear the ace camera person which increased our relief and joy - am sure it is your husband?
Yes Sujan! thanks a lot
@@GitasKitchenWow. Very happy to know that.🙂
I once again wanted to thank you..i have learnt so much from you..you r my guru..my guide..
Each one of your videos r so meaningful..n motivating..plz continue to guide us ..thank you
You're most welcome
I made it and I added a little sugar too. It was really really tasty. Thank you
Great 👍
Thanks for the receipe. I am trying out today will update
Super receipe, Geeta mam. I will surely try. I have already shared with my family n friend. Thank you😊🙏
Hi Geeta ma'am, can we try the same method to prepare mango , mixed vegetables or some other pickles ????. This is an easy method to prepare pickle
The method will vary for each type , pls see under pickles on my channel playlist
lol. What kind of teaspoons are you using to measure? Your 1/2 teaspoon looks like a tablespoon and your 4 teaspoons looks like a 1/4 of a cup!
Hi mami, thanks for this super and tasty, traditional lemon pickle and it's my favourite too...👌😙😙👌😉🤗😋😋🤗😉👌😙😙👌
Love all your pickle recipes. Auntie ji please teach some sweet pickles.
Hi mam, should the glass jar be keep in the sun after filling with the pickle
Not necessary,,
My mouth is watering, amazing
Thank you 😋
I like lemon pickle very much.
Can I use readymade pickle masala powder and jaggery instead of roasted methi Dana...... Please maam suggest me,,,, because I have lot of lemon so that I want to make pickle of some,,,
sure you can
Does roasting of lemon reduces the bitterness in the skin of the lemon peel
V Shailaja
Namaste Mam you looking very beautiful and thanks for traditional pickle recipe
Gita today i followed your recipe and made lemon pickle. It came well and left it to perment.
Please store in fridge for long shelf life
I tried.the same way but 2nd day fungus appeared on it .I had to dicard it
Why did it happen
Ma'am I made this pickle just now just as shown. Can I add the juice of 1 or 2 lemons to the pickle? I want to avoid the bitter taste as much as possible, that's why. Will it spoil if I do that? Esp. if kept outside?
I have also cut and stored lemons with a lot of salt in a plastic jar which I will be keeping outside to help soften/marinate faster. I have currently kept the whole jar open in the sun. Should it be kept open or closed in the sun? And for how many days? Sorry for so many questions. This is my first time.
You can add lemon juice. for longer shelf life pls add more oil to the jar especially if you are keeping outside. For lemon peel pickle see my recipe on my channel playlist where I have given detailed instructions
Thank you so much for sharing your traditional recipes...love to watch and learn from you Aunty ji...🙏🙏🥰🥰🌹🌹🌹🌹
Regards from Delhi..❤️❤️
So nice
Happy to see the traditional pickle without vinegar👌
😊
Hi Gita. I must tell you that by the time I came to the end of this video, I realised my mouth had turned into a swimming pool. Hahaha
Same here!!!! Droolicious....
@@laya2121 hahaha
Mine too...
Me toooo
Sounds nice - but what about all those pips? Perhaps I'll cut the lemon into smaller pieces, removing the pips as I go
is the oil quantity sufficient? an you show the pickles after it is marinated?
I"ll show you when done. you can add more oil on top later if required
Nice recipe Ma'am.ill make this pickle as u shown .I follow all steps but mam after 3,4 days I see fungus in some pieces don't know why ?
I put in glass jar
Please use dry jar . add more oil and store in fridge for longer shelf life
Superb mam, 🙏 🙏 😀
Very nice thanks 😀🙏
your recieps are exactly like my mothers. i like them
I have a huge lemon tree and I was looking for an authentic recipe of lemon pickle.
Mam...do we need to keep it in the sun?
What will be the measurements for one kg lemons 🙏
Thanks n regards
First time ये रेसिपी देखी , जरूर करूंगी , ये कितने दिन तक रहता है?
Infridge for a month
Did she use the sesame oil for the mustard seeds or to fry the lemons
yes for both
Madam, nice to see your lemon pickle preparation. I am going to try at home. Few clarifications, please help.
a) let me keep it outside after preparing like your way. I think not require to store it in fridge. Right.
B) I think this method of preparation won't give bitter taste right.
C) we have to stir it daily till 10 days and then we can use it right.
You can keep outside but be sure to add sufficient oil on top about 1/2 inch above pickle layer then it will not spoil, otherwise safer to keep in fridge.
yes it will be ready in ten days
Very healthy pickle...traditional and tasty😋
Gita ji, can the lemons be cut before putting them in the oil? Because this time the limes i got are quite big, and becomes difficult to serve the half lime. And if cut into more smaller pieces, after we take out from the oil, it keeps slipping while cutting 😊
Can this method also be followed? Though I did the way you had shown. And came out very well.
I know but this is how we traditionally do it.. !
@@GitasKitchen thanks for your response 😊
Mouthwatering receipe Thank you
Most welcome 😊
Very nice and easy recipe 👌
Thank you for the recipe. My lemon pickle turned out delicious 😋.
Can we add jaggery to make it a little sweet..or will it spoil..thanks
Plz let me know..whether i can add jaggery to the achar?
Yes you can
@@GitasKitchen Thanks..i am obliged
Geetha mam i ll try this recipe.Should we remove the seeds when we cut the lemons?
Yes, you can
Dear ma'am, do we need to store this pickle in the fridge?
yes it is always good to do so
@@GitasKitchen thank you
Thank you Amma for this recipe, its a new take will surely try this. Big hugs
Thank you so much for easy Recipe.

Need to keep in sun for ten days or inside?
Store in fridge
Do we need to remove the seeds from the lemon
Please clarify
yes we need to discard the seeds
Can we use any other oil
Super... Mam may I know how to remove the bitterness from the pickle.. My pickle turned out little bitter??
Add some jaggery to it
@@GitasKitchen thanq mam.
Sooper n delicious. All ur receipes r so nice n mouth watering. I am using herbal bath powder as per ur receipes i made it. It is so good. Tku v.much mam
Chala bavundhi amma...i love lemon pickle..surely will try it amma..amma I loved your saree colour combination and saree a lot..namskarams to uncle.
Thank you pallavi.. will convey to Uncle
Mouth watering....if possible can you pls show us the pickle after 15 days to see how it turned out...thanks mam
Definitely anita
Lovely
Thanks for a wonderful lime pickle. We are south Indians and do the same process. But the pickle tastes bitter. Why? But we are first mixing it with salt after removing the seed. This we keep for 10 days and then do the process as explained by you. But it tastes bitter. Why?
Sometimes if the spinoff the lemon is very thick it tends to be bitter
@@GitasKitchen So it depends on the quality of the lemon. Thanks for your reply
Any recipe which lemon pickles please 😊
Could you please tell me why you had to saute the whole lemons before proceeding further..Normally pieces of lemons are fried in til oil and the pickle masalas are added gradually thereafter..I have seen my mother and paati doing this way..Thank you gita mami for your innovative recipes... Regards.
Pickle can be made in different ways.. this is one variant
Can I put some more oil so that it last longer. Can it be made in mustard oil or canola oil. If can answer mam I will be thankful
Please do add more oil for longer shelf life..Traditionally it tastes best in Sesame oil.. Next best would be canola
Thank you Gita Aunty for a this mouth watering recipe, just one question I have powdered fenugreek seeds could I dry roast them are use it !??..
You can
@@GitasKitchen Thank you Gita Aunty..
Pl do share cauliflower pickle also
Thank you Gita. I was looking for Indian pickle recipes.
👌👌👌👌👌
Mai puna ,maharashtra se hu .aga mai til ka oil ki sevay mai groundnut oil use karu to test mey khuch farkh pad sakata hai kay?
kar sakte hain
my mom dont saute them in oil directly she cuts n adds all ingredients after 3rd day .on 1st day only lemon n salt
There are many ways of making pickle
The chilli powder is not roasted..
?we need to use normai chilli powder or kashmiri chilli powder?
That is why we pour hot oil on top of it. Kashmiri chilli powder is fine
@@GitasKitchen Thanks a lot
Nice pickle I'll try and show gusbery pickle as u shd lemon
Your methad is very good and simple.
