Red Chilli Pwdr - 2 tbsp
Hing (Asafoetida) - 1/2 tsp
Curry Leaves
Salt for Taste

1) Cut lemon into small cubes and Green chillies into small round shapes
2) Take a pan. Add Hing, curry leaves, salt, red chilli pwdr and water and allow it to boil.
3) Add Lemon and green chilli to this. Allow it to boil for some more time until lemon starts melting.
4) Switch off the flame and allow it to cool.

Let the pickle be in the container for atleast 3-4 days before you start using it. This will allow the lemon to become soften and more tastier. :-
