Ingredients

The MTR Lime Pickle is made from a carefully selected assortment of ingredients, each contributing to the rich and tangy flavor. The primary components include:

• Lime: The star of the pickle, providing the essential sourness.
• Salt: Enhances the tanginess of the lime, ensuring preservation and balance.
• Spices: Mustard seeds, red chili powder, fenugreek seeds, turmeric, and asafoetida (hing) provide the pickled taste that is uniquely Indian.
• Sesame Oil: Adds a nutty flavor while acting as the medium for preserving the ingredients.
• Vinegar: Adds to the tanginess and ensures a long shelf life.
• Citric Acid: Used to enhance the flavor and act as a preservative.

Preparation Process

The preparation of MTR Lime Pickle is a meticulous process that ensures the retention of authentic flavors while maintaining hygiene standards:

1. Selection of Ingredients: Only the freshest and choicest limes are selected. The spices are sourced from the best growers to guarantee impeccable flavor and aroma.
2. Cleaning and Cutting: The limes are thoroughly cleaned to remove any impurities. They are then cut into precise chunks to ensure even pickling.
3. Brining: The lime chunks are soaked in a brine solution to draw out excess moisture and initiate the preservation process.
4. Spice Blending: A specific blend of spices is mixed, which forms the heart of the pickle’s flavor profile. Each spice is measured meticulously to maintain consistency.
5. Maceration: The lime chunks are mixed with the spices, creating a rich, thick mixture. This mixture is then left to macerate so that the limes absorb the spices thoroughly.
6. Oil Treatment: Sesame oil is heated and then cooled to a specific temperature before it is mixed with the lime and spices. This process mitigates the risk of contamination while enhancing the flavor.
7. Aging: This mixture is aged for a precise period to allow the flavors to meld, ensuring that each bite is a perfect blend of tang and spice.
8. Packaging: The pickle is then carefully packed in hygienic conditions into vacuum-sealed jars to maintain freshness and flavor integrity.
