hi titli how long will this keep as i have seen people on yt who have done it the traditional way, and they said it would last over a year. opposed to the fast method of only 3 months thanx for ur reply
I've just come across your site, Titli, and I think it is lovely. This lime pickle recipe brings back memories - I can remember our cook making lime pickle when I was a child, living in Mumbai. This pickle was left in the sun to "cook", so I was v. interested to see your boiling oil alternative method. I shall definitely have to try making this :-)
I have tried to do a lime pickle in the past but the results were...so, so. I am cocnfident I will do better now with this information. I will tell you in a little more than 2 weeks. Thanks for sharing!
@TitliNihaan After almost 3 weeks, I got very close to your result. I could not wait anymore even if the limes were not turning brown. I think the problem is that there is no warm place at this time of the year in Canada. Room temperature vary from 17C to 22C in the day. I will try again next summer.
ah! i think i consumed a pickled lime today with my order of aloo paratha! i've NEVER liked these when on the buffet, but it paired so well with the paratha and yogurt. do you have other serving suggestions? this was a great match, but i havent found the same to be true with other dishes. and, do you think this could work well with other oils (such as canola)? i'm eager to try making my own now
It'll work with any oil - canola, sunflower - but mustard gives it a slightly sharper flavour. I eat lime pickle as an accompaniment to any strong curry (it doesn't work so well for me with, say, korma). But try it for yourself and see what works for you!
so it smells horendous......does it actually taste that good? i would consider trying this on my outdoor burner (as i do with many indian and thai foods, as they can leave pervasive odors.
I love it. Those who I serve it to keep dipping into the jar. I think I can safely say that it tastes good. If you have an outdoor burned it would be good to use that!
The salt has two purposes - one is to help the softening of the limes and the other is as a preservative. You could probably use less salt, but I would recommend washing the skins of the limes with a mild sterilising fluid (like you might use for babies bottles) before you cut them. I'll buy a lime and do an experiment for you...
this is so delicious, sometimes i make this with fermented dik cheese...also an acquired taste.

it looks disgusting and too much oil in it , I haven't try this lime pickle ever maybe because of that I didn't like it at all.

@londonerhic Lime pickle IS an acquired taste, but quite popular nonetheless

Respond to this video...I guess you could leave it out and substitute veg oil for mustard oil

How do you use this pickle?

can we use sesame oil instead of mustard oil?

@sara46762 I'm not sure the taste combination would work. If you don't have mustard oil my suggesion would be to use vegetable oil instead
