Ingredients
- 12 Thin skinned limes
- 6 tsp Mrs Rogers Himalayan Pink Salt
- 1 tsp Mrs Rogers Fenugreek Seeds
- 1 tsp Mrs Rogers Cumin Seeds
- 2 tsp Mrs Rogers Mustard Seeds
- 1 tsp Mrs Rogers Chilli Powder or Chilli Flakes
- 1/2 tsp Mrs Rogers Turmeric
- GoodLife Glass Jar
Directions
- Wash and dry your limes thoroughly. Take 10 limes and cut them into eighths (halve them first, then cut each half into four wedges).
- Sterilise* the GoodLife glass jar and place the chopped limes in the jar and pour fresh lime juice from the remaining 2 limes. Add the Himalayan pink salt. Seal the jar tightly and shake well to coat.
- Store the jar in a cool, dark place for 7 days. Give the jar a gentle occasionally.
- After a week, place the fenugreek seeds, cumin seeds, and 1 tsp of the mustard seeds in a dry pan over medium heat. Toast until fragrant, then remove from heat.
- Once the toasted spices have cooled, grind them into a fine powder. Stir this powder, along with the chilli and turmeric, into the jar of limes. Reseal the jar and let it sit for another 5 days.
- Heat the rice bran oil in a small pan. Add the remaining 1 tsp of mustard seeds. Once they begin to pop and splutter, immediately remove the pan from the heat.
- Once cooled mix into the pickle. Keep pickle refrigerated once opened.
