Lemon Chilli Ginger Pickle | Homemade Nimbu Mirch Adrak Ka Achar (500gm)

A Zesty Trio of Tangy, Spicy, and Warm Flavours

Experience the vibrant heart of Indian pickling with our Homemade Nimbu Mirch Adrak Ka Achar. This powerful combination of sun-ripened lemons, fiery green chillies, and fresh, aromatic ginger is a celebration of bold flavours. Unlike milder mix pickles, this one is for those who love a intense, palate-awakening experience.

Crafted in small batches using traditional methods and preservative-free mustard oil, this pickle delivers an authentic homemade taste in every jar. The mustard oil not only acts as a natural preservative but also adds its distinctive pungent aroma, which is the hallmark of a classic Indian pickle.

How This Flavour-Packed Pickle is Made

We believe that the best flavours are born from patience and quality ingredients. Our process is simple, pure, and focused on taste:

1. Selection of the Freshest Produce: We source firm, juicy lemons (nimbu), plump green chillies (mirch), and fresh, fibrous ginger (adrak). Each ingredient is carefully washed and hand-cut to the perfect size.

2. The Traditional Spice Blend: We temper whole spices like mustard seeds, cumin, fenugreek, and asafoetida to release their essential oils. This technique, crucial in traditional mixed achar, creates a depth of flavour that powdered spices cannot match.

3. Marination in Mustard Oil: The cut lemons, chillies, and ginger are mixed with the spice blend and high-quality mustard oil. The oil ensures every piece is perfectly coated and preserved.

4. The Magic of Sun-Drying: The jar is then left to mature under the sun. This natural process allows the sharp tang of the lemon, the fierce heat of the chilli, and the warm zest of the ginger to meld together, creating a complex and unforgettable homemade pickle.

Why You'll Love Our Nimbu Mirch Adrak Ka Achar

This pickle is more than a condiment; it's a flavour powerhouse. Here’s what makes it special:

• A Bold Flavour Profile: This is not a subtle mix pickle. It offers a triple threat of taste: the initial tang from the lemon, followed by the slow burn of the chilli, and finished with the warm, digestive goodness of ginger.

• 100% Natural & Traditional: We use no artificial colours, flavours, or preservatives. Our commitment to using mustard oil and whole spices ensures you get a pure, homemade taste that is both wholesome and authentic.

• Incredibly Versatile in the Kitchen: While it's a perfect companion to dal-rice, parathas, and curries, its uses go further. A small amount can elevate a simple sandwich, or be mixed into curd for a quick raita.

• A Homemade Recipe You Can Trust: At Add Me Foods, our EEAT principle—Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness—is at our core. This handmade mix is a result of our experience with traditional recipes, ensuring you get a product made with integrity and care.

The Perfect Pairing: How to Enjoy Your Pickle

Unlock the full potential of your jar with these serving ideas:

• The Classic Comfort: Serve a small piece with hot steamed rice and a drizzle of ghee. The flavours cut through the simplicity, creating a perfect, comforting meal.

• The Paratha's Best Friend: Enjoy it with fluffy aloo paratha or plain paratha. The intense flavours stand up beautifully to the hearty bread.

• The Flavour Booster:

  • In Tempering: Chop a piece finely and add it to the tadka for your dal or sabzi for an instant flavour upgrade.

  • With Snacks: Pair it with poha, upma, or even a simple cheese toastie for a zesty kick.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: Is this pickle very spicy?
The spiciness comes from the whole green chillies, which provide a significant and authentic heat. The ginger also adds a warm, pungent note. If you enjoy spicy food, you will love this pickle.

Q2: Why do you use mustard oil?
Mustard oil is a traditional and authentic base for Indian pickles. It has a strong, pungent aroma and natural preservative qualities that are essential for the flavour and shelf-life of a classic achar. It is a key part of what gives this pickle its homemade taste.

Q3: What is the shelf life?
When stored in a cool, dry place and always used with a clean, dry spoon, your pickle will stay fresh and flavourful for a long time. The natural preservatives—salt, citrus acidity, and mustard oil—ensure its quality.
