Hi Indira,
I am silent reader of your website. I have quick question and hoping you will address it.
I have preaprd lime pickel (mentioned in your new website), but after 1 week when I tasted it is so bitter.
Can I mix at this stage more lime juice and salt.
thanks ahead.

Hi Unz: Happy to read that you made the lime pickle. First few weeks, the lime pickle will be bitter.
The pickle needs at least a month to mature and the limes will become from bitter to soft and tasty pickled limes with time, I promise. Add salt if you think it’s necessary. Wait and give the pickle some time for great results.
Do let me know how it tastes after one month. Thanks.
-Indira

Every time i make lemon pickle, it goes bad. I’m scared to try it again. Any special advise on how to save it?

Love this pickle. Beautiful pictures and you make it look so easy. I would love to visit a farmers market like the one you mentioned.

Hello Indira garu,

Nimma uragaya looks very tempting. Just curious to know why iodine free salt is preferred over one with iodine?

Nimma uragaya chala bagundi.This method is new to me.
Do you refrigerate or store it outside for long term storage?

This is reminding me of summer holidays during school days. I love eating lime pickle with home made yoghurt, mainly the yoghurt at my grandma’s place….yummy. Wish I can rewind time and go there.
