SWEET LIME PICKLE

-
Author Notes: Glass jars with pickle on the centre of the dining table back home(with my mother and grand mother) It was such a regular scene in most of the Kerala home and my home was no different. Ranging from Fish, meat, lemon, mango……… would be one on the dining table No meal would pass without a touch of a pickle
I would like to share this family recipe .You can do with fish, meat, ginger, garlic, mango ,gooseberry, carrot, cauliflower etc with the same masala
The combination of spices used to make the Masalas have remained a mystery, known only to mother and grandmothers. It has always been difficult to find that perfect blend, some combination's always go wrong. But now, you can assured that you will get the same old blend

Thanks for clarifying Sadassa Ulna's questions so thoroughly. And thank you especially for the masala blend. My salivary glands went into overdrive just reading the ingredients. I have one question: can this be done with lemons as well? I have a couple of cases of them and I'm looking for some more unusual things to do with them. Thank you.

Sadassa thank you for your comment.They look like they have been cut into eight pieces each. YES eight pieces each/Do you steam the limes before you cut.YES/ How long do you steam them. ABOUT 10MINUTE/When you leave in the sun is it inside by a window or outside to "bake" in the sun.OUT SIDE UNDER THE SUN /.DO YOU ''BAKE'' OR DO YOU DRY YOUR CLOTH UNDER THE SUNLIGHT Do you remove the salt (shake off) before you add to the liquid/NO

This sounds great, can you explain the lime preparation? They look like they have been cut into eight pieces each. Do you steam the limes before you cut? How long do you steam them? When you leave in the sun is it inside by a window or outside to "bake" in the sun? Do you remove the salt (shake off) before you add to the liquid? Sorry for all the questions, and thank you in advance!
