Galgal Lemon Pickle

Dayal House Galgal Lemon Pickle is made with traditional Himalayan-style Galgal, also known as Hill Lemon. This distinctive citrus fruit is known for its thick rind, strong citrus aroma and bold tangy flavour. Carefully prepared with traditional pickle spices, Galgal Lemon Pickle delivers a delicious combination of tanginess, mild spice and the characteristic citrus flavour of hill lemon.

Lemon Pickle

Our Lemon Pickle is made using Galgal, a traditional hill lemon popular across parts of the Himalayan region and North India. Its thick rind and naturally sharp citrus flavour make it especially suited to traditional pickle preparation. As the pickle matures, the lemon pieces become softer while absorbing the aromatic spices.

Galgal Lemon Pickle

Galgal, also called Hill Lemon, is a distinctive citrus fruit associated with the Himalayan foothills, including regions of Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand. Compared with regular lemons, Galgal is known for its larger size, thick rind and strong citrus aroma, giving this pickle its unique taste and texture.

Lemon Pickle Benefits

Lemon and Galgal are traditionally enjoyed as part of Indian cuisine, and lemon pickle is commonly served as a flavourful accompaniment to meals. The main appeal of this pickle is its bold citrus taste and ability to add a tangy and spicy element to everyday food. Lemon pickle should be enjoyed as a condiment rather than considered a health supplement.
