I'm going to assume that some onions (maybe some garlic) are bhuno'd, dhania-zeera thrown in for good measure...the achaar is added and stirred briefly and then whatever one is cooking is thrown in...Pelicanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00858951498917328458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156654.post-1168229783615722412007-01-07T21:16:00.000-07:002007-01-07T21:16:00.000-07:00Anon, usually pickles are nibbled on with a meal. ...<STRONG>Anon</STRONG><EM>, usually pickles are nibbled on with a meal. You can certainly do what your friend does, too! I haven't used them in plain rice - but I can tell you that steamed rice with yogurt and lemon pickle is divine! Another hot favorite with us: warm bagels with cream cheese and some lemon pickle on top of the cream cheese. Medha's favorite lunch is bologna sandwich with sandwich spread, lettuce and some lemon pickle. I eat the pickle by itself whenever I get a craving for spicy and tangy at the same time! I also have it for breakfast with my toast. I don't like sweet breakfasts!</EM><BR/><BR/><EM>There are several North Indian dishes like Achari Aloo, Achari murgh, Achari Gosht and so on, that use Indian pickle to add an additional kick to the dish. I don't think they use lemon pickle though. What I feel is that if it works for you, why not?! So try it out and if you come up with something that you think is a must-try, please let me know! I'd love to try it out, too!</EM>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156654.post-1167700079299855022007-01-01T18:07:00.000-07:002007-01-01T18:07:00.000-07:00Dear Manisha,I was introduced to lemon pickles by ...Dear Manisha,<BR/><BR/>I was introduced to lemon pickles by an acquaintance who said that she uses them as a condiment to brighten up other dishes. She mentioned adding bits of lemon pickle to plain rice. I found your recipe and tried it. I think that it worked well, but I am not sure how lemon pickles are usually eaten! Do you cook with them, add them to other food, eat them alone...? <BR/>Thanks for your great site and recipes!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156654.post-1149826235348883852006-06-08T22:10:00.000-06:002006-06-08T22:10:00.000-06:00Asha, If you have plenty of sunshine, go ahead and...<STRONG>Asha</STRONG>, <EM>If you have plenty of sunshine, go ahead and try it.
