Lemon and Lapsi


Lemon and Lapsi both are acidic and small sour fruit. These two are so adaptable in all taste. You can make it hot, sweet or sour, its your choice. So, this time it was an experiment to see how it taste if you combine the two extremely sour fruit together. The result may not have come out to be the best but let me assure you it sure was not the worse as well. Yes ! I have to admit it it was too sour ! if you are lover of it the tangy, acidic and sour taste then this is for you.

Ingredients : 

Lapsi                                                  :    300 grams
Lemon                                                :    300 grams
green chili                                          :     50 grams
Annis seeds                                         :    1 teaspoon
Fenugreek seeds                                 :    1 teaspoon
Parsley seeds                                     :    1 teaspoon
Cumin powder                                    :    1/2 teaspoon
Salt [mix of white and black ]             :    as per the taste
Timur                                                 :    one teaspoon

How to convert these ingredients into a pickle ? 
  • Clean Lapsi and keep it in in hot water for some time so that it will be wilted and easier to mash it before you mix it with lemon.
  • Clean and cut lemon in about six piece of each lemon;  and then put it in a bowl.
  • Dry fry anise seeds, fenugreek seeds and parsley seeds in a heavy fry pan.
  • After that make its powder.
  • Clean green chili and then make two slices of each chili.
  • Grind Timur with salt to make its coarse powder.
  • Now take a big bowl and put Lapsi, Lemon, green chili, salt, Timur, cumin powder, and then mixed powder of annis, fenugreek and parsley seeds.
  • Take a bottle and  stuff it with the mixture in a glass bottle [or a plastic jar]. 
  • Put the bottle in a cool and dry place for more than two month or under sun for about a month to mature it.

    Now your pickle is ready !

    Note : If you use plastic jar I advice you not to put it under sun. If you want to put it under sun then use glass bottle to make pickle.
