Preserved lemon pickle /Neer Elumichangai







Lemons are soaked in water, salt and lemon juice. This is oil free and spice free pickle. When I have stomach bug or feeling nausea, I quickly chew on the lemon skin to combat it.

Ingredients

Large Lemons                        6 no.
Turmeric Powder                   ½ tsp.
Fresh Tender ginger              3 tbsp.(Peeled and thinly chopped)
Salt                                    to taste.
Water                                 2 cups.

Method:

  • Wash and cut the lime, big pieces.
  • Heat water in a pan, add salt and turmeric powder. When the water boils rapidly add chopped lemons in it and allow it boil for a minute.
  • Add ginger pieces in it and mix well.
  • Store it in a glass jar.  When you are pouring them into the jars, push the lemons, and ginger inside such that they get compressed in the juice. There should be a layer of liquid on top.
  • Keep refrigerated. You can use this after two weeks. This will keep forever refrigerated.
