lemon pickle
Tangy Indian condiment
Lemon pickle is a pungent South Asian condiment made from lemons or limes preserved in salt, oil, and spices like chili, turmeric, and fenugreek.
The fruit is typically cut into pieces and aged until soft and intensely flavored.
It accompanies rice, bread, and curries as a sharp, sour accent: a spoonful of lemon pickle with dal and rice.
