#lemon#pickle#Most of the pickles in the market are made with oil and have a thick layer of oil, which helps preserve the pickle. I like my lemon pickle made without any oil. I used an old family recipe that has been passed down by my grand mom. The beauty of this pickle is enhanced by the “no-oil” factor and can be stored for years.

Ingredients- 6 lemons (12 if they are smaller)
½ Cup salt
¼ Cup red chilli powder
½ Cup sugar
3 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp methi seeds (Fenugreek seeds)
1 tsp black mustard seeds
¼ tsp hing powder (Asafoetida)
Juice of 1 lemon (2-3 if smaller)
Large glass jar, approx 2 liters or ½ gallon

Method

Take a sharp knife and cut the lemons, 1 lemon is 8 piece
Then, take a fry pan and add methi seeds, mustard seeds and hing, then roast on slow heat for about 3 minutes.
Now, grind above into powder
Take a big wide bowl and mix salt, red chilly, sugar, turmeric powder and methi powder(mustard,hing) prepared above
Add lemon pieces to the bowl and mix so that spice coats all the pieces
Transfer the bowl content to the jar. Make sure jar is totally dry without any moisture
Mix and add lemon juice.
Close the lid and mix the lemon with spice
Now, keep in the sun for about 15 days - 30 days depending on weather and sun intensity till lemos are tender. If required, add more lemon juice
Pickle is ready to eat. Store it in an airtight container. Will last 1 year or more depending on conditions.

#During the celebrations of Navratri (and some other festivals), devotees fast. Throughout this fasting period, people consume #Kuttu (buckwheat). According to Hindu mythology, it is a strict NO for consuming grains during Navratri. Hence pseudo cereals such as kuttu or Singhara Ka atta(water caltrop/ chestnut) are consumed during this time. I have tried this recipe multiple times. It’s always so yummy. It’s so simple and uses few ingredients we have in our pantry.

Ingredients
2 cups Kuttu (buckwheat) or singhara (water caltrop) atta/ flour + ⅓ cup for dusting
3 medium potatoes boiled and mashed (fully mashed, not crushed)
2 tsp black salt (or use any other salt) - adjust to taste
2 tsp black pepper - adjust to taste
2 tbsp cilantro - finely chopped (optional)
1 or 2 green chili finely chopped - adjust to taste (optional)
Oil for deep frying

Method
Take a wide bowl and add flour, potatoes, green chili, cilantro, salt and pepper.
Add about 1 tbsp oil and mix all ingredients
Knead into a hard dough, add water as required and make a hard dough.
Apply oil on the dough surface, cover the dough and keep aside for about 5 minutes.
Add oil to a fry pan and put on medium-high heat
Apply oil to your palms and take a golf ball size piece of dough and roll it between palms
Spread flour dust on a flat surface and roll with a roller pin into a flatbread (Poori) about 3 inches in diameter. Apply flour dust as needed.
When oil is hot, add poori and fry from both sides till golden brown.
Fry remaining pooris in the same manner.
Serve with aloo sabji, chutney and dahi
Note: if the pooris break during frying, add more flour to the dough and also make poori size smaller.
Some poori pop it but some not because of cilantro and potatoes.
Very tasty and it is good for lunch and traveling.
