Spicy Lemon Dip - Version I

Ingredients:
  • Lemons- 3-4
  • Dry red chili- 20-30 broken into pieces
    • Add depending on the heat you prefer
  • Mustard seeds- 1 tbsp
  • Fenugreek seeds- 1 tbsp (Methi)
  • Salt- 1 1/2 tsp
  • Oil- 1 tsp


Method:


  1. We call this Nimmakaya Kaaram in Telugu. It had only a handful of ingredients an is very easy to prepare. Moreover, it stays good for 3-5 days when stored in the refrigerator. 
  2. It has very little oil and needs no tempering.
  3. It is tangy, spicy and a little runny. It can be served with rice and dal, idli, dosa, parantha, fries, etc.
  4. I made the dip a little thick, but you can add more lemon juice and make it runny. Or you can take a portion of it and add a tsp of water and dilute it for immediate use. 
  5. Do not add water to the mix you wish to store. 

For a detailed recipe, please watch the video. Thank you.
