Lemon pickles have a long history in Indian cuisine, known for their ability to enhance the flavors of a meal.

The use of fresh lemons, Indian lemons, and hill lemons ensures the authentic taste of a homemade sweet lemon pickle.
Ingredients and Health Benefits
Our Sweet Lemon Sour Pickle includes a variety of rich ingredients:
- Lemons: High in Vitamin C and antioxidants. We use fresh lemons, juicy lemons, yellow lemons, medium lemons, and Meyer lemons.
- Aromatic Spices: Enhance digestion and add a robust flavor. These include mustard seeds, black pepper powder, coriander powder, jaggery powder, roasted cumin powder, and fenugreek-mustard powder mix.
- Sugar: Balances the sourness of the lemons, making it a sweet pickle.
- Salt: Acts as a natural preservative. We use natural salt, black salt, and grams of salt to ensure the perfect flavor.
Making the Perfect Sweet Lemon Sour Pickle
- Preparation: Slice lemons into small pieces, including lemon pieces, lemon skin, lemon rind, and lemon peel. Lemons are cut into quarters and bite-size pieces.
- Spice Mix: Blend spices like fenugreek seeds, mustard seeds, and asafoetida. This spice mix also includes mirch powder, chili powder, tsp salt, and ground spices.
- Mixing: Combine lemons with the spice mix, sugar, and salt. The lemon mixture should be thoroughly mixed to ensure even flavor distribution.
- Fermentation: Store in a clean jar, such as glass bottles, and expose to sunlight for a few days to meld the flavors. Use a dry spoon to avoid contamination. The mixture should be covered with a piece of cloth to allow for proper fermentation.
- Additional Steps: For a quicker version, you can use an Instant Pot sweet lemon method. Simply mix the ingredients and let them sit in the pot on medium heat for a few hours.
