This quick recipe of one of the easiest and most economical pickles to make and is used by most punjabi households. Lemon juice and salt act as a preservative in this recipe. Fresh tender root ginger available during the monsoon months is best suited for this pickle. Choose lemons that are firm with a smooth, shiny yellow skin and wash them thoroughly before pickling them. The pickle is ready to eat after 10 days. This bitter pickle is surprisingly good with rich spiced dishes. I suggest you also try it out with paneer stuffed green pea parathas.
