LIME PICKLE, NIMBU KI ACHAR, NARANGA UPPLILITTATHU, NARANAGA URUGAI

Lime Pickle is very easy to make and can be served with paratha, any varieties of dal rice, pulao, curd rice etc.  We always make pickles and store it for years together as per the tradition and practice in each and every household.  Varieties of pickles are made during summer season.

This lemon pickle is very easy to make and can start consuming after three days.  You can either cut it into  very small  pieces or into eight pieces.  Always make fresh  in small quantities and finish it off.  If you are in for the traditionally way of making it, then can make it and store it for years together.
