Lemon Pickle tastes good when served with hot rice and ghee or curd rice.when we were in Mumbai I saw them making this pickle with a combination of unripe mangoes.
The taste of this pickle will help bring back your bitter tongue to normal after fever.My grandma used to give me this pickle with hot rice and ghee.
Pick ripe and juicy lemons for this preparation.It’s better to prepare this pickle in small quantities each time rather than heavy quantities.If you keep it at room temperature it may lead to discoloration after a week.it lasts for a long time when stored in refrigerator.

Love your website and recipes.
There is one thing that may confuse a lot of people– it confused me at first, too.
In the US, we use the word “raw” to mean “uncooked”. The way you use “raw” (as in this recipe), it means “unripe” . In the US, we sometimes call unripe fruits “green”, but that can also be confusing.)
It might help people understand your recipes quickly, if you use “unripe” instead of “raw”, when you mean the fruit isn’t matured or it hasn’t ripened.
Just a thought.
