Are you referring to the whole lives in coarse salt? I realize that limes don't soften in the iodised salt we now buy.... even the coarse salt. I am experimenting with Himalayan pink salt!

Lovely recipe, thanks. We always have so many lemons on our trees, and never know how to use them except for cleaning and disinfecting purposes. I’ll definitely try this recipe.

Hello Geeta Aunty. Very nice and easy way of making pickle. Thanks for Sharing

Thank you Gita ji. Had a bumper winter crop of lemons and despite giving away tons to colleagues and neighbours I still have so many left. Searched KZread and saw many famous names but instinctively clicked your video. Best decision. Such a great recipe and clear explanation. Totally idiot proof, which is important to me because too many ingredients confuse me and I end up missing or forgetting something or the other.

Very healthy pickle...traditional and tasty😋

This is really awesome, So simple to do we use to squeeze the juice and mix the spices in the lemon then add the lime juice store it for one week and ready to use no tempering.

Explained in such a simple manner! Anyone can grasp it!

Hi mami, thanks for this super and tasty, traditional lemon pickle and it's my favourite too...👌😙😙👌😉🤗😋😋🤗😉👌😙😙👌

Thank you mam.i am from West indies and I tried this recipe. It was perfect. My grandparents came from north India, therefore we usually use mustard oil and other masalas.

Very yummy and mouth watery 😋

Love all your pickle recipes. Auntie ji please teach some sweet pickles.

Thank you! This may work well for the limes on our farm. ..they have thick rinds! I hope you don't mind me sharing my experience hereand a memory too! In one of your videos you had shared a recipe using drumstick leaves and mentioned that they were not easy to obtain.We have an abundant supply but didn't usually use them though we enjoy the drumsticks. I started using them after your video and also cooked some and shared with the farm workers. My memory is of my mother teaching people to cook ...and eat..drumsticks in Jodhpur. Our quarters had a drumstick tree! That story is over 60 years old! You could choose a local variety of drumstick and plant a few seeds in a pot. It would give you leaves at least. As it grows larger maybe it could be planted on a small vacant area. You would get drumsticks within a year! Wishing you all the best!

@Maureen Samson Thank you for your lovely comment. I don't even remember when I was last was able to eat drumsticks. I liked a preparation made with ground 'burned/roasted' coconut pieces, roasted raw rice, red chilies, turmeric etc and cooked in coconut milk. I live in the US in a state with a pretty harsh climate where it is impossible to grow tropical plants, so when nostalgia for old familiar foods strikes me, I just close my eyes and re-create then in my memory. Enjoy the beautiful bounty of your drumstick tree!

@@theinkbrain Thanks for your appreciation! My friend and her husband in California have tried to grow drumsticks...not very easy, even there! However I think they mentioned an abundance in Hawaii where nobody ate them! I must share that we struggle with borers damaging the trees and this variety does not like the heavy and prolonged monsoons....hence my advice on a local variety, which seems to do better! All the best and thanks for sharing!

​@@maureensamson4863 Is it possible to spray with a solution of neem oil? You can get it from Amazon. Another powerful (and non-toxic to humans) pesticide would be a solution of soaked coffee grounds, tobacco, Listerine solution and a few drops of dish-soap. I would suggest not spraying on the blossoms and this might harm bees. But spraying on the bark might work.... Also garden sulphur might be effective. I don't think there is any antidote for heavy monsoons! Best wishes!

Gita ji, can the lemons be cut before putting them in the oil? Because this time the limes i got are quite big, and becomes difficult to serve the half lime. And if cut into more smaller pieces, after we take out from the oil, it keeps slipping while cutting 😊 Can this method also be followed? Though I did the way you had shown. And came out very well.

Ma'am I made this pickle just now just as shown. Can I add the juice of 1 or 2 lemons to the pickle? I want to avoid the bitter taste as much as possible, that's why. Will it spoil if I do that? Esp. if kept outside? I have also cut and stored lemons with a lot of salt in a plastic jar which I will be keeping outside to help soften/marinate faster. I have currently kept the whole jar open in the sun. Should it be kept open or closed in the sun? And for how many days? Sorry for so many questions. This is my first time.
