Lemon Pickle

Dhanam Foods — Lemon Pickle

Full description:

Lemon pickle is the tangy staple every Tamil kitchen keeps close at hand, and ours is made exactly the way Dhanalakshmi has always made it — sharp, salty, and full of flavour, with no shortcuts. Fresh lemons are hand-selected, sun-cured, and blended with a spice mix that’s been part of the family kitchen for years.

Every jar is handcrafted by Dhanalakshmi, using fresh lemons, coarse rock salt, freshly pounded mustard, red chilli powder, and cold-pressed gingelly oil. No factory processing, no preservatives — just lemons, spice, and time, the way pickle-making has always been done at home.

Why our Lemon Pickle is different:

• Fresh lemons, hand-picked and sun-cured before pickling
• Coarse rock salt and freshly pounded mustard in every batch
• Cold-pressed gingelly oil — never refined oil
• Bold red chilli for authentic heat, no artificial colour
• Zero preservatives, made fresh to order
• FSSAI certified — safe for the whole family

Best enjoyed with: Curd rice, hot rice with ghee, idli, dosa, or as a tangy side with any meal.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Always use a dry spoon. Refrigerate after opening for extended freshness.

Tip: Lemon pickle keeps improving with age — let it sit for a couple of weeks and the peel softens while the flavour turns richer and more balanced.
