Methamba as we call it in Marathi. This is one of the easiest pickles to make ever. This is my granny’s speciality. She used to make this pickle every summer and I remember relishing this pickle with simple dal rice. You don’t really need a sabji when you have this pickle. You can make it in larger quantity and it stays good up to 6months if kept in the refrigerator.
