Lemon Pickle is my all time favourite pickle. Got fresh limes from Indian store last night. Half of the limes, I made Sour Lime pickle and spicy lime pickle. We could also use lemon for this recipe. Its very simple to make and I always add only use less oil than the store bought lemon pickle still with proper refrigeration, the shelf life is very good. My kids love this spicy lemon pickle and they would love to eat more curd rice only because of this pickle :-). Lets see how to make this spicy Lemon Pickle..
