Patak's Hot Lime Pickle is a tangy, spicy condiment made from preserved limes blended with an aromatic mix of traditional Indian spices and oil. It delivers bright citrus notes, a warm, lingering heat and a savory, slightly salty depth that enhances a wide range of dishes. The texture is typically chunky with pieces of lime in a glossy, spice-infused oil, giving a balance of sour, hot and savory flavors that can cut through rich foods or add a punch to simple staples. Patak's Hot Lime Pickle is a classic accompaniment in South Asian cooking and is also enjoyed worldwide as a bold, flavorful pantry staple.

To use, add a small spoonful alongside curries, dals and rice or spread it on naan, roti and sandwiches to lift the flavor. Stir a little into plain yogurt for an instant raita, mix through cooked rice or roasted vegetables for extra zing, or use it sparingly in marinades and dressings to introduce citrus heat. Always use a clean, dry spoon to remove pickle from the jar, store unopened jars in a cool dry place and refrigerate after opening to preserve freshness.
