Lemon Pickle recipe – Simple sweet, sour, spicy pickle with Lemon

Our family is not a big consumer of pickles. However my helper really loves pickles. She normally makes lemon pickle. She uses a lot of jaggery for the pickle too. For me it is a different flavor than what my mum makes. At first when she did I was scared by the amount of chillies she used but when I tasted it, it was not that hot.. Maybe because of the Jaggery. Also this pickle tastes good after about 1 week. Do try and Enjoy

Curry Leaves – 20
Urad dal – 2 teaspoon
Chana dal / bengal gram dhal – 2 teaspoon
