There is nothing more satisfying than having a jar filled with homemade hot, spicy and tangy chilli pickle in the fridge. It is so simple to make and lasts for 2 weeks. It goes well with parathas, as a condiment on the side with an indian meal and is so warming and addictive. It doesn’t take long to make a batch either! It is ready in less than 30 minutes.

- 1 lemon, juiced
