Lemons are an excellent source of vitamin C and having many many health benefits. We consume it in many recipes just like drinks, chaats, sabzis, cakes, desserts, syrups, soups, pickles etc etc. Today I am writing the recipe of oil and preservative free spicy lemon pickle. Here below is the full details:

Ingredients
8 medium sized lemons
1.5 tsp of black salt or salt or sendha namak
1 tsp of red chili powder
1 tsp of garam masala
1tsp of turmeric powder
1/2 tsp of black pepper powder
1 tsp of fenugreek powder (optional)
1/4 tsp of ajvain (optional)
Method1. Wash the lemons and dry it with a clean cloth.
2. Cut the lemons into desired pieces.

3. Now take these lemons pieces in a glass or ceramic bowl. Add salt or black salt or sendha namak, red chili powder, turmeric, black pepper powder, fenugreek powder, ajvain and garam masala. Mix all thoroughly with lemons pieces with hand or with two forks.
4. Now put it into a sterlized and dry glass bottle.
5. Keep it in the sun for 1 week days or till its peels slightly tender. Shake everyday. For getting it tender, it may take one week or even more days, depending on the weather of the place.
6. Chatpata sour lemon pickle is ready to enjoy.
7. Keep it in the refrigerator as it is oil free and without preservative.Generally, I keep in chill tray of refrigerator.
Tips
1. For vrats and fasts, use sendha salt for making this pickle.
2. Black salt enhances its taste. So add both the salt or any one.
3. Always use the dry spoon for taking out the pickle from bottle.
4. Shake bottle twice a day till it gets ready.

Paag/paak panjiri burfi is generally made on the occasion of Krishna Janamashtmi festival for prasad/bhog. I have prepared it on this festival for bhog. It is very easy to make and at the same time very delicious. Here below is its recipe in details:

Ingredients
500 grams of peanuts/mungfalli
handful of sliced dry coconut/sukha gola
handful of sliced almonds
handful of peeled musk melon or melon seeds
1 tbsp of fennel seeds/soanf
small pinch of soda bicarb
1.5 cups of white color sugar
3/4 cup of water
1 tbsp of oil or ghee for greasing the the tray
Method
1. All main ingredients i.e peanuts, coconut, musk melon seeds, almond and fennel seeds were slightly less than 3 cups in all. First dry roast the peanuts and then let it cool. Remove its red outer peel with hands. Just rub with hands, the peel will remove and the peanut will be in two parts. It can be done too with the back of any steel bowl.

2. Dry roast the musk melon seeds, sliced coconut, almonds and soanf slightly not too much.
3. Now take 1.5 cups of white sugar in a big kadahi/pan with 3/4 cup of water. Stir it constantly till sugar dissolves in water.
4. Now after melting sugar cook it till white bubbles seems / 1 thick string chashni. It can be seen in the collage too. This step is very important which needs attention. Take a small drop of chashni in a bowl as it is very hot, so dip your finger and thumb in water and now check between thumb and finger. If it is of one string consistency it is ready.
5. Next add a very small pinch of soda bicarb and stir.
6. Immediately put all the roasted ingredients in the syrup and quickly stir and remove from heat.
7. Now pour it into a greased thail/tray directly or greased aluminum foil/wax paper and spread it.
8. Now when it comes it on room temperature, with a knife, mark the pieces shape in which you want to cut.
9 Now after one or two hour cut into pieces.
10. Paag Panjiri burfi is ready for the Krishan ji bhog.
Tips
1. Grease the thali /tray in the beginning.
2. Take all the ingredients according to your availability. I had peanuts in large quantity, so I took it 500 grams. Equal quantity can be taken.
3. While checking the string consistency, be careful as it may be too hot to burn.
Enjoy Healthy Cooking!!!

Aaloo Kadhi can be eaten while observing fast. During navratris fast, generally we get fed up eating fried stuffs every day. This kadhi can be enjoyed with samo/samak/samkiye/sanwa rice pulav or with kuttu roti. Some people eat turmeric during fast. So if you are the one who doesn't take turmeric, kashmiri red chili can be used to give it a little color. It is very easy and simple to make. Moreover, it needs very few ingredients. Here is the whole process how we can make it:

Ingredients
3 medium sized boiled potato
1.5 cups sour curd
salt to paste
1 tsp of turmeric powder (optional)
1/2 tsp of red chili powder
1/2 tsp of garam masala
1 tsp of coriander seeds
few curry leaves
2 tsp of pure ghee/ oil
1 finely chopped green chili
few dried red chili chunks
handful of finely chopped cilantro
Method
1. Boil and peel the potato. Now mash it very smooth.
2. Take curd in a big bowl. Add salt, turmeric, and red chili powder and whisk it for a minute.
3. After that add mashed potatoes and 1 cup of water and whisk it for a moment.

4. Heat the oil in a pan. Now add the hand crushed coriander seeds, curry leaves and red chili chunks. Let it be slightly brown.
5. Now add curd and potato batter constantly stirring.
6. When it starts boiling, it is time to stop stirring.
7. Now lower the heat to the minimum and cover the pan with a cover.
8. Stir occasionally. Let it cook till thick like kadhi.
9. Potato kadhi is ready. Remove from heat.
10. Add garam masala and cilantro and stir.
Tip
Before boiling point, stirring is very essential.
Enjoy Healthy Cooking!!!
