N for Nimmakaya Karam under Regional recipes for BM #32.
This is a tried and tested recipe from my MIL's kitchen which is at least a few decades old. I have never been able to have this karam as I always thought that it is way too spicy than I can handle. But upon my husband's insistence, I tried it with curd rice and I am a convert now :).
A few months back, my husband got a crate full of lemons for a throwaway price. So when I was cracking my brains as to how to make use of these lemons effectively, my husband suggested that it was high time I got the recipe from MIL and made this at home. So here it is..
Ingredients -
Lemon juice 1 cup
Red Chilli Powder 3-4 tsp
Salt 2-3 tsp
Sugar 1-2 tsp (Optional)
Turmeric 1/4 tsp
Seasoning (Oil 1 Tbsp, Mustard Seeds 1 tsp, Asafoetida 2 generous pinches)
Method Of Preparation -
Mix the lemon juice, turmeric, salt, red chilli powder and sugar.
Mix well till the salt and sugar are dissolved.
In a heated pan, prepare the seasoning by adding mustard seeds in hot oil. After the mustard seeds pop, add the asafoetida and remove from fire.
Transfer the seasoning to the lemon juice mixture. Mix well and serve.

Mouthwatering, Harini.. This is my husband's favorite condiment with upma.. that is when there is no lime pickle... Sometimes I add sesame seed powder too to this karam.
