This is my sweet and tangy lemon preserve, slow-cooked until the lemons are soft and syrupy. It’s a classic `dadimaa` recipe that is a wonderful digestive and pairs well with simple meals.
This video shows the variety I offer. After the mango chutney, you can see my spicy and tangy mixed pickle made with fresh ginger, lemon, and green chilies, a perfect condiment to spice up any meal.
About More Homemade Achaar & Preserves
One tip I always share for my mixed pickle is to store it away from direct sunlight and strictly use a dry spoon. Because I don't use any chemical preservatives to extend the shelf life, keeping moisture out is the only secret you need to keep the flavors fresh and the pickle safe for months.
When I started making pickles in 2006, I just wanted to recreate that specific taste from my dadi-ma's kitchen. You won't find any factory-made shortcuts here. Everything is prepared in small batches, which allows me to maintain the texture and flavor that big brands lose in mass production.
Why my pickles are different
My process is simple: I buy fresh produce based on what is in season, wash it thoroughly, and let the sun and spices do the work. Whether it is the zesty ginger, lemon, and green chili mix or my sweet lemon preserve, each batch reflects that specific time of the year.
How to consume
These preserves and pickles are not just sides. My sweet lemon preserve works beautifully as a digestive after a heavy meal, while the spicy ginger and chili mix is perfect for parathas or dal-rice. Since I skip the chemical preservatives, the color and texture might vary slightly from batch to batch, but that is exactly how you know it is real food.
If you are planning to order, keep in mind that I make these on demand. I don't keep months-old stock sitting on a shelf, so you are always getting a fresh jar.
