Lemon Pickle Recipe || Instant Lemon Pickle 

Lemon Pickle is one of the famous pickle in India. This is a quick lemon pickle. I did not use oil in this. That's why you can call it healthy. Lemon is very sour, hence to balance it sugar or jaggery is added to it. I have prepared it by adding jaggery to it, so you can make it within 1 hour. It does not spoil for a whole year. You can eat it with rice or roti or just as it is. The taste of this pickle is spicy, sweet and sour. So let's see the method of making it.
