Lemon Pickle

Tangy lemon chunks in spiced sesame oil. Like sunshine in a jar.

This Lemon Pickle brings together small chunks of lemon soaked in a bold blend of mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds, red chilli powder, and sesame oil. The oil tempering locks in deep, warming flavours that grow richer over time. Each bite delivers a bright tang balanced with gentle heat and earthy spice. It is the kind of pickle that makes a simple meal feel complete and comforting.

The story behind it

Origin

South Indian

Lemon pickle has been a staple in South Indian kitchens for generations. Grandmothers would sun-dry lemon pieces and layer them with hand-ground spices, letting time do the rest. Each region adds its own soul to it, from fiery Andhra to sweeter coastal styles.
