About our homemade Andhra Lemon Pickle (Nimmakaya Pachadi)
How it tastes
Bright, sour and salty with a steady chilli heat. The lemon peel softens in the masala and turns tender, which is what makes a good nimmakaya pachadi.
How we make it
Fresh lemons are washed, dried fully and cut into pieces, then mixed with salt and turmeric and allowed to soften. They are coated with red chilli powder, roasted mustard and fenugreek (methi), ginger and garlic, and finished with a tempering of cumin and curry leaves in groundnut oil. Made after you order.
