You'll adore this spicy Indian lime pickle, also known as nimbus achaar if you like probiotic foods. It's packed with beneficial bacteria for your stomach and goes well with a basic Indian dinner of dal and rice. It's also relatively simple to prepare, particularly with the hot summer sun as your sous chef.

Pickles from India are a delicacy: spicy, salty, and indescribably delightful. They're served with almost every Indian meal, but they're particularly delicious with dal and rice. If you've ever visited an Indian restaurant, you've almost certainly been served some with poppadum and chutney.

However, compared to pickle made by Homemade Lime Pickle Manufacturers, those restaurant pickles and any storebought Indian pickles (which are readily available at Indian grocery shops) fall far short. Not only does a homemade version taste better, but it also contains probiotic bacteria, which are lacking in store-bought counterparts due to its high pasteurization levels.

Why do you think you'll like this Indian lime pickle?

It's delectable. If you're accustomed to vinegar-soaked American pickles (which are great, by the way), you're in for a different kind of pleasure with an Indian pickle. Indian pickles are saucy (I like mine), and you only eat a little quantity at a time, relying on them to flavor your dish. So, if you have dal and rice with a pickle, incorporate a tiny amount of the pickle into the dal and rice. Some Indian pickles may be rather hot, but mine isn't; in fact, it has just the ideal balance of tart and spice to make you fall in love with it.

It's easy on the stomach. Pickles from India are fermented in the sun and are high in gut-friendly bacteria. That's why our grandparents and great-grandmothers made them with such care each summer so that we could benefit from the health advantages all year. Unfortunately, the value of store-bought versions is lost since they must pass health inspections and are thoroughly pasteurized, which destroys the active microorganisms.

It's simple to put together. Making pickles at home may seem to be a time-consuming task, but it is relatively simple. In reality, putting the recipe together takes a few minutes. Of course, you must remember to put your pickles on a hot, sunny porch or stoop for a week, but it isn't labor, and it's a task you might quickly enlist the aid of your children.

Ingredients

You may use lemons, but you'll want one with a very thin peel since you'll be pickling the rind. A rough rind will soften, but it will still be harsh, even if it is edible. Pickling should also be done with organic limes.

Nigella or onion seeds or kalonji:These are charcoal-black seeds that, when planted, will grow onions. They contribute to the taste of Indian pickles, along with the following two seed components.

Fenugreek seeds:They aren't often used in lime pickles, but I like them here because of the faint bittersweet taste and their many health benefits. Because fenugreek seeds are prebiotic, they're a perfect complement to fermented Indian meals like dosas and, of course, pickles.

Fennel seeds:Fennel seeds, like the other seeds in this recipe, are essential in generating the distinct taste of an Indian pickle due to their excellent digestive capabilities and fresh, wonderful flavor.

Cayenne or paprika or Kashmiri chili powder: I've given you a couple of choices here so you may customize the degree of heat in the pickles to your preferences. Use as much or as little cayenne as you desire for the hottest pickle. Both paprika and Kashmiri chili powder provide a lot of colors, but they're a lot milder. So use one of these: the Farm Fresh Pickles should have some heat.

Salt:The preservative, as well as a vital flavor element, is salt. One of the reasons I like preparing my pickles is because I have complete control over the amount of salt I use. In this recipe, I use 14 to 12 cups of flour. I believe the lower amount is ideal, but if you want highly salty pickles, go ahead and use more.

Turmeric:For the sake of color and health

Mustard seeds:Like fennel, fenugreek, and nigella seeds, are essential flavoring elements in Indian pickles.

Vegetable oil:Mustard oil is used in the preparation of several Indian pickles. I use mustard oil sometimes when I can get it from an Indian shop; it is not readily accessible in American grocery stores. While mustard oil is flavorful, any vegetable oil that can handle high heat, such as safflower, sunflower, or peanut oil, would work well. Additionally, as you splutter the mustard seeds in the oil, their exquisite flavor will leak into the oil.

Conclusion

Spicy Indian lime pickle, also known as nimbus achaar, is packed with beneficial bacteria for your stomach. They're served with almost every Indian meal but are particularly delicious with dal and rice. A homemade version contains probiotic bacteria, which are lacking in store-bought counterparts. In addition, pickles from India are fermented in the sun and high in gut-friendly bacteria. Store-bought versions must pass health inspections and are pasteurized.
