Notes

  1. Use cooker separator and cook lemons. Direct cooking might turn lemons soggy
  2. Always cook the whole lemon. Never cut and cook as it might turn bitter
  3. Dry the lemons completely before cutting them
  4. For best flavor, use cut lemons along with the juice
  5. I have used Kashmiri chili powder. If you are using regular chilli powder adjust accordingly
  6. Pickle tastes best the next day
