Priya Citron Pickle (Without Garlic) 300g is a traditional South Indian “narthangai” pickle made from citron fruit (a large citrus variety) blended with spices and oil. Flavor profile Strong tangy sourness (signature citron/citrus bite) Mild bitterness + citrus sharpness unique to citron fruit Medium spice level from red chillies and traditional masalas Earthy depth from mustard, curry leaves, and fenugreek No garlic → cleaner, more citrus-forward taste compared to garlic variants Key ingredients Citron (narthangai) pieces Refined rice bran oil Salt Citrus juice Mustard seeds Dry red chillies Curry leaves Mixed spices Taste & texture Chunky pickle with soft citrus rind pieces Very aromatic, sharp “lemon-like but deeper” sourness Balanced between tangy, spicy, and slightly bitter notes How it’s typically eaten With plain rice + ghee (very common South Indian pairing) With curd rice or sambar rice Alongside idli, dosa, or chapati Used in small amounts because the flavor is quite intense Overall This is one of Priya’s more traditional South Indian citrus pickles, similar in role to lime pickle but with a more complex bitter-tangy citron character. It’s chosen by people who prefer a sharper, more aromatic sour pickle rather than purely spicy ones.
