Vegetarian

Lemon or 6 to Medium sized lemons

Ajwain

Sugar or add as per taste

Salt

Rinse 6 to 7 medium sized lemons (250 grams) very well in water. Then spread them in a clean plate or kitchen towel and let them dry naturally at room temperature.

step 1

You can even wipe dry them very well with a clean kitchen cotton towel or napkin.

step 2

Before beginning with the recipe, do make sure that your hands, chopping board, knife, kitchen towels, bowls and jar are clean and moisture free.

step 3

After the lemons are dried well, take each lemon and cut four sides but keeping the lemon intact and whole. Do not cut through completely. Cut all lemons this way.

step 4

In a bowl, squeeze a bit of juice from each lemon piece. Do not squeeze the lemons too much. Keep this lemon juice aside.

step 5

In another plate or bowl, take 1 tablespoon carom seeds (ajwain), tablespoon red chili powder, 3 tablespoons sugar and 1 tablespoon salt.

step 6

step 7

Now with clean fingers or a small spoon stuff this dry masala in each lemon. Keep the masala stuffed lemons aside.

step 8

Then place the lemons in a clean glass jar. You can sun dry the jar for 1 to 2 hours if you want.

step 9

Pour the lemon juice which was in the bowl in the jar. You can remove the seeds while pouring the lemon juice.

step 10

Add leftover masala if any on the stuffed lemons in the jar.

step 11

Sprinkle some salt (about to 1 teaspoon) all over the lemons. This is done so that the top does not get spoiled while the pickle is maturing.

step 12

Cover with a lid and keep the jar in sunlight for 4 days. Every day shake the jar. I kept on the kitchen window sill and this place in my kitchen gets a very good sunlight.

step 13

Sweet lemon pickle will be ready after 4 to 5 days. Then you can serve it with your meals. After 4 to 5 days, refrigerate the pickle so that it has a longer shelf life. Stays good for about a month in the fridge.
