Title: "Indian lemons" for pickle
Post by: Arhoolie on November 07, 2014, 10:43 AM

Hi,

There is a great recipe for lemon pickle in the Prashad book, produced by the Yorkshire-based vegetarian restaurant.

The recipe specifies thin-skinned "indian lemons" but to use limes if you cannot find these.

I have made it successfully with limes but am keen to do the lemon version. The trouble is that here in Scotland I cannot find anything described as "indian lemons". These are supposed to be thin-skinned and look just like yellow limes. But all the lemons I see in shops, even specialist asian stores, are thick-skinned meditterranean specimens. Great for a gin and tonic but too pithy for pickle.

My brother in law in the north of endland is on the case and wonders if meyer lemons may fit the bill.

Anyone know where to get "indian lemons" in the UK. Even online?
