Quick Lemon Pickle Recipe

The recipe Jamie's 30 Minute Meals and he serves this pickle with Vegetable Rogan Josh.

Ingredients in this Recipe

• Vegetable oil

• Lemon

• Black mustard seeds

• Fresh red chilli

• Dried red chilli

• Salt

Start by frying the mustard seeds, turmeric and fresh chilli in a little oil.

Then add the lemon, and crumble in the dried chilli.

Cook for 2 minutes, allow to cool and that's it, you're all done!

Top Tip!

When you get to this bit: 'When everything starts to sizzle, add the sliced lemon and a pinch of salt, count to ten'.

Seriously, I say to cook for 2 minutes, or you'll find the lemon rind is quite hard and horrid to eat.

Great Source of Vitamin C and Fibre

Did you know, lemons are a great source of vitamin C and fibre, lemons contain many plant compounds, minerals, and essential oils.

You can, of course, serve this with pretty much any Indian curry, but I tell you what, I recommend you also make Jamie Oliver's Bombay Potatoes are seriously good. Bombay Potatoes are from his book Jamie's Great Britain.
