lime pickle
Spiced citrus relish
Lime pickle is a pungent South Asian condiment made from limes preserved in salt, oil, and spices like fenugreek, mustard seed, and chili.
The limes soften and intensify over weeks of pickling, producing a sharp, salty, deeply savory relish.
It accompanies rice dishes, curries, and flatbreads: a dab of lime pickle on the side of dal.
