Always a treat to see you & your thread JT! That mention of lime pickle made me remember a very tart & savory lime marmalade. Everyone was putting a dab on their roasted chicken & it was amazing, just brought out the chicken.

It’s weird how something new really enthralled you & then you strangely forget about it. Your photo reminds me to buy a jar at the grocery. I love limes. Thanks!

I buy my Indian spices at one of my local Indian food stores. They have them in bulk at a much cheaper price. Tons of different pickles and condiment sauces. They also have frozen Indian breads like roti and nan that you finish on the griddle.

If you want to try something really good try Goan goat curry and Goan fish curry. I get those at Curry King here in LA
