  Hello Latha!
  Here is the recipe for 'Mixed Vegetable pickle'.
  MIXED VEGETABLE PICKLE:
  Take one cup[200gms] of very finely shredded vegetables in a bowl. The vegetables we should use for this pickle are carrot, beans, raw tomato, small brinjal, and cabbage. Soak the vegetables in Lemon juice. The juice should cover all the vegetables. Add 10 slit green chillies to it. Add enough salt.Mix well. Cover this with a thin white cloth and keep it like this for the whole night. In the morning let it dry on the heat of the sun light. All the water should be evaporated. In the night grind them coarsely with a small piece of ginger without adding any water. It is better to crush them in a ural. In a kadai fry a small piece of asafoetida, 1sp fenugreek seeds and 10 red chillies and then powder them finely. Heat the same kadai and pour enough gingelly oil. Add 1sp mustard seeds and when they splutter add the crushed vegetable, 1sp turmeric powder, enough salt and the ground powder. Mix well and cook them under moderate fire until the oil floats on the surface and the pickle does not stick to the bottom.The result will be very delicious.

  Mrs. Mano, do you have a recipe for lime pickle, one that is different from the standard one. A friend has gifted me about 100 limes grown in her garden and I want to use them in a variety of recipes. Thanks.

  Hello Viv!
  Here is a different recipe for Lime Pickle.
  LIME PICKLE:
  Wash 1 dozen limes and then rub out all the trace of the water cleanly with a cloth. Cut them in to desired pieces. You can cut a lime into 4 pieces. Add enough salt to it. Add 6 slit green chillies to it. Mix well and keep them covered with a thin white cloth and let them soak under the heat of the sun for 4 days. Then heat a kadai and pour 3 or 4 tbsp gingelly oil. Add 1sp mustard seeds and when they splutter add the flakes of 2 whole garlic pods. Fry them on a slow fire for a few minutes. Add 2tbsp chilli powder and 1sp turmeric power and put off the fire. Mix well and add this to the pickle. [Some times you may need more chilli powder or sometimes a smaller quantity of chilli powder may be enough according to the size of the lime.] In a tsp of oil fry 11/2sp fenugreek seeds and a small piece of asafoetida and then powder them. Add the powder to the pickle. Add 1tbsp vinegar and 2 or 3 tsp sugar to the pickle. Mix well. Again keep the pickle under the hot sun for one day. Then you can store the pickle in a clean jar and within a few days the pickle will be ready for use.
