Hello, food lovers greetings🙏 today's recipe is presenting how to use lemon in an unusual way for westerners. This recipe I made for the contest by 
Sweet, sour, pungent, bitter, saline, and astringent. My LEMON pickle.
The main ingredient is lemons.
Ingredients:
5 large juicy lemons
1 tsp red chili powder
2 tsp rock salt
1 tsp turmeric
2 small rock asafoedida.
1 tsp fenugreek seeds. Methi seeds.
2/3 cup cane sugar jaggery
Wash lemons in salt water and rub baking soda on them and keep it on for around 15 minutes. The baking soda will clean it if there are any chemical residues on the peel.
Wash them again and cut them into appropriate sizes approximately18 pieces from 1 lemon. cut 4 lemons and save one for making juice which later on
Heat an iron pan and dry roast the fenugreek seeds and asafoetida/hing on low heat.
Take them off from heat and let them cool. after cooling grind into powder.
also grind the rock salt.
now in a container add the salt, fenugreek hing powder, and turmeric powder.
Remove and discard the seeds from the lemons pieces.
Add the lemon to the container and coat it with the powders thoroughly.
Cover the container and set aside for 2-3 hours.
The lemon juice will seep out.
Pour that juice into the saucepan . add the juice from the remaining lemon
along with the jaggery and bring it to a boil.
Cook until it becomes a thick syrup. Lower the heat to avoid burning.
Add the lemon pieces and let it cook on low heat for around 20 minutes.
when the lemon pieces become transparent our pickle is ready. After getting cool it will become thicker. This pickle is very good for digestion and It is very tasty and has all tastes that we need for good and strong digestion- sweet, sour salty, pungent, better, and astringent, That is the reason Ayurveda-recommends this pickle as a healthy food. it is good for sick people to increase their appetite, and bring back the sense of taste to those who lost it. a small amount of this pickle, say 2-3 pieces helps to produce digestive juices but it is not recommended to consume more. Thank you.
