🍋🍯 The Radiant Relish: Why Baya India’s Oil-Free Khatta Meetha Lemon Pickle is a Jar of Pure Sunshine! ✨

When life gives you lemons, you make a pickle that’s so good, you don’t even need oil to preserve it! Our Oil-Free Khatta Meetha Lemon Pickle is a celebration of the fruit in its purest, most vibrant form. By combining paper-thin "Kagzi" lemons with pure sugar and warming spices, we create a fat-free, syrupy delight that is as healthy as it is addictive. At Baya India, we let the sun do the heavy lifting, turning simple citrus into a translucent, honey-like treasure. 🏺🍋🍯✨


The Alchemy of the Sun-Drenched Citrus 🏆

Without oil to act as a barrier, the quality of the fruit and the curing process must be flawless. Here is how we craft this oil-free masterpiece:

Sourcing Kagzi Lemons: We select only thin-skinned, juicy "Kagzi" lemons. Because there is no oil, the skin must be tender enough to melt in your mouth after curing. 🍋✅

The Sugar-Cure Technique: We use pure sugar as the natural preservative. The sugar draws out the lemon's own essential oils and juices, creating a self-preserving, luscious syrup. 🍯👌

The Solar Transformation: The jars are placed under the bright Indian Sun for 40 to 60 days. This slow, heat-induced maturation is what turns the lemon rinds from bitter and hard to sweet, soft, and translucent. ☀️🌡️

The Spice Infusion: A blend of black salt, roasted cumin, and black pepper is added. These spices balance the sweetness of the sugar and the acidity of the lemon, creating that signature Chatpata (tangy-sweet) flavor. 🌿🌶️


The Baya India Standard: Pure & Honest ☀️

Our Oil-Free Lemon Pickle is a "Clean Label" champion—perfect for those who want maximum flavor with zero added fats.

The Baya India Difference:

Pure Sugar, No Artificial Syrups: We use real sugar to create a natural, thick syrup that coats the lemon pieces perfectly. 🍯🚫

Soft & Translucent: Our long sun-curing process ensures that even the rind is delicious and easy to chew. 🍋👌
