GOAN CUISINE - Lime Pickle | Tangy Indian Lime Pickle & Condiment | 230g

The sharp, spicy lime pickle that wakes the whole plate up

A proper Indian lime pickle — intense, zesty and not for the faint-hearted. Goan Cuisine's Lime Pickle brings the pucker of sour lime together with chilli warmth and the earthy hum of cumin and fenugreek. A little goes a long way: it's the sharp, salty hit that cuts through rich curries and grilled meats and makes everything taste brighter.

The flavour

It leads with intense, zesty sour lime, then a building chilli warmth and the deep, earthy note of cumin and fenugreek roll in behind. Garlic and ginger add savoury depth, and there's a salty tang that lingers. Punchy and concentrated — a teaspoon does the work of a tablespoon.

How to use it

• Serve a small spoon alongside any curry and rice — the traditional sharp counterpoint.
• Smear it over skewers of grilled pork, chicken, fish or lamb before or after cooking.
• Use it to cut through rich roasts and slow-cooked meats.
• Stir a little into yoghurt or mayo for a zingy dressing, or pile it onto a cheese toastie.

In the jar

A chunky, glossy, deep-gold pickle with soft pieces of lime rind and flecks of chilli suspended in spiced oil — intense and aromatic the moment you open it.

The Rub Smuggler's Verdict

Smuggler's tip: thread lamb onto skewers rubbed with Low N Slow Lamb Layup, grill hard, then drop a little of this on the side — the sour-sharp lime cuts the richness a treat. Same trick works on pork or chicken skewers rubbed with Coast N Smoke The Rip. And it's the classic dab beside any curry. Rub the meat, pickle on the side.
