Spiced Lime |
I have my Mom’s cookbook, rather the cookbook that my Father
had presented my Mom. It was his way of telling her that he liked food to be
cooked in different ways not just the regular Karnataka Style.
cover when I flicked it, yes my sister does not know about the book and my
brother was too small and of course my bhabhi, she has no clue!!! 😀
make this delicious pickle and I do not know if she read this in the book or
it’s a traditional recipe! I have made this pickle too often to read the
recipe.

was tasty and not bitter.

I like the idea of adding karela, otherwise I never know how else to enjoy karela except by frying it full on. The bitter gourd is such a healthy veggie otherwise. Thanks for sharing your recipe Archana, hope you have been doing fine. Are you coming to the GALF in panjim/ICG this weekend?
Archana Potdar says
Hi Helene ou ar emost welcome. Thanks even I was thinking of using karela in my pickle this week. As for GALF @ICG I will not make it.
