I really recommend scrolling down and looking at all the step by step photos of this delicious lime pickle recipe. There are a few steps to this recipe but I have photographed them all for you.
This lime pickle goes fantastically well with my easy poppadom recipe and my homemade poppadoms . If making those, you might also like to add a few more chutneys or raitas .

Want an easy meal? This lime pickle is also amazing served simply of plain or flavoured Basmati rice . Or you could serve it in a wrap with homemade naans or chapatis , chicken tikka or lamb tikka or keema .
This recipe was taught to me by the chef of our local tandoori. He too used to serve those name brand pickles but now swears by this recipe.
My lime pickle recipe makes quite a lot but the pickle lasts indefinitely in a sterilised jar in a cool dark place such as a cupboard to the fridge.

Mass produced lime pickles can be good. Nothing wrong with them. But, and this is a big but, you know you are in a good Indian restaurant if they make their own pickles, chutneys and raitas.
If you are like me, you will taste that familiar flavour that the mass produced pickles have. You can probably taste when it’s Pataks and why would you want to pay over the odds for something you can purchase yourself from a jar?
This lime pickle tastes fresh and authentic because it is. Placing the lime pickle in the sun to ferment like they do in India and carefully frying the spices, before stirring them in makes this a lime pickle that is hard to compete with.
Indian Style Salted Lime Pickle
It should last for months. It’s a pickle after all. If you are planning on keeping it for a long time, I recommend spooning the finished lime pickle into smaller jars.
Then you can use up one jar at a time while keeping the other stored in the fridge with a tight fitting lid.
You might notice that it is quite salty. Lime pickles have been served for hundreds of years and they are usually salty in flavour.

Serving rice in this way is how it is done all over India. It’s a vegetarian meal in its own right! The salt also help preserve the pickle.
Pour the steamed lime mixture into a jar and stir in the juice from the mixing bowl. Allow to sit, covered in the sun for 2 days, stirring every 12 hours.
When the mustard seeds begin to crackle, add the cumin seeds and asafoetida. Infuse for 30 seconds and take off the heat.

Pour the oil and spices into the lime pickle. Be careful. You might want to cool it some before adding. Set in sun for 2 more days.
Again, do this before you add salt. It is delicious stirred into a curry like my curry house style chicken Madras for example.
Now let’s tackle the one thing that scares a lot of people off making this. It takes about four days and then it is best not to serve it for another week for optimum flavour.

Make a huge batch and keep it in the fridge for when you need it. I often double or even triple this recipe. I like it that much.
Simply make them up and put the lime pickle into some attractive sterilised jars and you have a gift that any curry fan would love.

I hope you enjoy my lime pickle recipe. If you do try it, please leave a comment. I’d love to hear from you.
Excellent recipe, I've made it several times. One note of caution if you cut down the salt. I did that once, but it turned out not to be a smart move. After a week or so in the fridge it turned into the standing gardens of Babylon. Either stick to the salt, eat it within a few days, or regularly steam it again. I went for the first option ever since that misadventure.
An excellent recipe. I made it several times. I'd warn Marthe: I once cut seriously down on the salt, BIG mistake: after a week I had the standing gardens of Babylon. Had to throw everything away. It is not meant to eat as such, hence use less salt to the dishes you add it to. I also made some variations like adding a spoon of Xylitol (my children like it sweet). I use this recipe as the baseline recipe for my lime achar.
