O Allah, forgive our living and our dead, those present and those absent, our young and our old, our males and our females. O Allah, whom amongst us You keep alive, then let such a life be upon Islam, and whom amongst us You take unto Yourself, then let such a death be upon faith. O Allah, do not deprive us of his reward and do not let us stray after him. [Sunan Abi Dawud] (Aameen)

RECIPE

Easy Lemon Pickles (Safeera Kaka)

7 (approx. 300 grams) lemon
2 tbsp lemon juice
3 tsp salt
1/4 tsp turmeric powder (haldi)
1 1/2 cups castor sugar
2 tsp chilli powder

Combine the lemons with 4 cups of water in a pressure cooker and pressure cook for 5 whistles till the lemon skins are soft and give way under the pressure of your thumb.Drain and keep aside to cool.Place the lemons in a large mixing bowl. Cut them into quarters inside the bowl, to retain all the juices. Add the lemon juice and mix well.

Add the salt and turmeric powder to the lemons and leave aside for 10 minutes.
Gradually, add the castor sugar (2 to 3 tablespoons at a time) while stirring continuously so that all the sugar gets dissolved. The entire process will take about 15 to 20 minutes. Add the chilli powder and mix well. Store in a sterilised glass bottle and leave aside for one day. Next day, the pickle is ready to eat.
Store refrigerated for upto 3 months.
