Meetha Nimbu Pickle

ORIGIN: Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh

₹359  |  210 G

Made using a heirloom recipe from Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, this sweet and sour pickle has thickly sliced lemon pieces along with traditional whole spices like cumin, black pepper, peepal, brown cardamom, clove, to name a few.

You’ll be buying directly from the producer. The Locavore does not handle orders, payments, delivery, or customer support.

This pickle is entirely handmade by women, and preserved in barnis or earthen jars without any chemical additives. 

Have it alongside simple dishes like dal and rice or roti to elevate them. The sweet and sour profile works well with snacks like mathri or khakra, or stirred into dal for a brighter, lemony edge. It can also be paired with parathas, added to a thali for contrast, or used in small amounts in wraps or sandwiches when you want a sweet and citrusy hit.

Aamra, founded under Nari Shiksha Kendra, sells heirloom pickles and chutneys made by local women in Ghaziabad using traditional methods. Based on recipes collected from homes across north Indian states like Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, and Rajasthan, a group of thirteen women source, process, and mature the ingredients all-year-round.
