Lime Pickle / Lunu Dedhi
The Lime Pickle is a traditional favourite, and the juicy combination of limes with authentic spices means it is the perfect compliment to your favourite curry. It is surprisingly easy to make but takes patience and time!
Ingredients:
- 25 Limes
- 20 g Crushed red Chilies
- 75 g Salt
Method:
- Cut the limes into four wedges each, salt them heavily and leave them in the sun for approximately 10 days, turning the lime pieces occasionally. The limes must turn brown and slightly brittle.
- Mix grind chili with it
- Pour the mix into a preserve jar (fill it to the top), close lid tightly and leave it in a cupboard for about six months.
- Lime pickle (Lunu Dehi) can be used in chutneys or with rice & curry.
