Hot & Sweet Lemon Preserve by Madhusudhan

This simple home made preserve can be stored up to a month when refrigerated.  No artificial flavoring is used in this.

Ingredients:

Medium Sized Lemon: 7 or 8 cut in to small pieces

Sugar: 1 1/2 cup

Salt: 1 1/2 Tbsp.

Kashmiri Chilli Powder: 2 Tbsp.

Roasted Jeera Powder (cumin powder): 2 Tbsp.

Place the lemon & all the ingredients in a food Processor & grind it to a fine paste. Add about 10-15 ml of water to grind your lemon else the cooking time will be longer. Pour the ground mixture in to a non stick pan & cook over medium flame for about 5-8 minutes.

Remove from the flame once the water evaporates & your preserve thickens. Don't over cook it or else the sugar will cause crystallization. Cool & preserve in an airtight container. This goes amazingly well with rotis. pooris & bread & even dosas.
