Pickled Lemon/ Uppu Elumichai oorugai BM#64


Preserved lemons are very easy to make and will last forever. It just takes a few minutes of your time and final outcome after few days are just delicious.


Here goes the recipe for Pickled Lemon:
Ingredients
5 Yellow Lemon
Salt as required

Method
Cut the lemons into small pieces and mix the salt and and store it in a air tight container.
Cover and let it sit for couple of days until the skin softens and all the salt soaks into the lemon.
Once in a day just shake the bottle and store it back. It is recommended to refrigerate.

Goes well with all the South Indian dishes.

  8. Simple and easy. I remember my grandma used to put used lemon peels into the jar of rock salt. They would soften and blacken and then we would eat them with curd rice.

  9. Thank u for the comments. These are mostly had with curd rice. Also people eat this in the early stage after delivery with curd rice (Pathiya Samayal). Since this contains no oil. It is served when having fever just to enhance the taste in the mouth.
