"Lime pickle, or nimbu ka achaar, is a popular dish served in India. There are no pickles in it; rather the lime itself is pickled. This recipe requires putting a lime mixture in a pickling jar and leaving it for two weeks so it can ferment, hence the extra time involved. A dish with sour tart lime and hot spices blended to perfect Indian culinary perfection. Lime pickle can be served over a variety of foods including rice or lentils. Not only is it delicious, but fermented foods are said to have a long list of health benefits, so it can be a healthful meal addition as well."
