There are two types of lemon pickle which I learned from mom. One is preparing pickle with fresh lime and the other uses preserved lime. Here I am giving the recipe for preserved lime pickle. Preserving lemons is a very easy job. Just cut the lemons and mix them with salt and they will stay good for more than an year. Whenever you want pickle, just heat oil and add some of the preserved lime and prepare pickle. It is a 5 minutes work and it tastes great.
If you feel dizzy or acidic, preserved lime comes for your help. Add some paste of the lime and add soda. Stir well and drink. You will feel very much better.
Those who are pregnant and yearn to eat something tangy can take a small piece of lime and lick it. It tastes divine.
