Citron fruit, also known as Citrus medica, offers a range of health benefits due to its rich content of vitamin C, antioxidants, and fiber. These include boosting the immune system, aiding digestion, potentially lowering blood pressure, and having anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It is slightly bitter in taste which can be offset by adding some lemon juice to it.
Ingredients:
One medium sized Citron
Salt
Turmeric
Chilly powder
Oil
Mustard seeds
Methi seeds
Asafoetida
Juice of lemon.
All the above mentioned ingredients are as per individual preference. There is no set measurement as this pickle is more of a digestive than an accompaniment.
Method:
Wash and wipe dry the Citron. Cut it into bite sized pieces. Add salt and turmeric powder . Mix well. Bottle it and keep shaking the bottle twice a day for about 5 days. On the sixth day add some chilly powder. Heat oil in a pan. Add the mustard seeds and after they splutter add the asafoetida and methi seeds. Toss. Pour the seasoning into the pickle. Add lemon juice as per requirement. Mix well. Refrigerate. Use after a couple of days.
