Here I come with a mixed pickle which mainly uses lemon, mango ginger or fresh ginger as well as picador green chili (green chili available for making pickle)
No need to mention about the enormous health benefits of Lemon. It has many nourishing elements like Vitamin C, B6, A, E, folate, copper, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, zinc, phosphorus and protein. It contains flavonoids which are composites that contain antioxidant and cancer fighting properties. It helps in preventing constipation, hyper tension, fever, indigestion, diabetes etc etc. It is also good for the skin, hair and teeth. Lemon is well known for its medicinal values in polyarthritis, rheumatism, arthritis etc. Most importantly it is a easily available fruit everywhere round the year
A overall healthy pickle recipe which I learnt recently from Mrs. Anitha Chahal Ji. Her post was so inviting that I wanted to try it immediately. Its a combination of all the rasas (tastes) as in sweet(sihi), sour(huli), hot/spicy(khara) bitter(Kahi) & salty(uppu) ! Regular ginger can also be used in place of mango ginger.
Mango ginger also has many health benefits with its medicinal values. Mainly we use it in making pickle and chutney. And green chilli is also rich in many vitamins with zero calories. Here is the recipe of Tangy/chatpata pickle
