Retail – Ahmed Lime Pickle, Sharp Limes Cured Soft in Spiced Oil

This single 1kg tub of Ahmed Lime Pickle is all about the lime: pieces of lime cured slowly in salt and oil until sharp and mellow, carrying the classic tang that makes nimbu ka achar so more ish. You are buying one 1kg retail tub, not a case, which suits a home pantry or a smaller kitchen.

Key Features

• Lime pieces cured soft as the headline ingredient.
• Salty, sharp and tangy with fenugreek, fennel, cumin, turmeric and onion seed.
• The much loved nimbu ka achar, mellow yet zingy.
• Single 1kg retail tub, easy to keep and reorder.
• Prepared in the traditional Karachi pickle style.

Serving Ideas 

Serve a little with rice and dal, poppadoms and curries, or as a sharp side to grilled meats and biryani where the citrus tang cuts through.

Storage 

Keep the jar sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, always use a clean, dry spoon and make sure the oil covers the pickle to keep it at its best. Refrigeration after opening helps preserve flavour and freshness.
