Sweet and Spicy Citron Pickle (Maluga Achar)
This traditional Parsi-Gujarati pickle transforms the thick, white rind of the citron fruit into a sweet, spicy, and tangy preserve. The rind is tenderized in a light brine and sun-dried before being steeped in a rich, dark mixture of jaggery, vinegar, garlic, and aromatic spices. The result is a complex, chewy condiment with a perfect balance of heat and sweetness that pairs exceptionally well with simple rice dishes or flatbreads.
Instructions
- 1In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 5 minutes.
- 2Add the eggs, milk, chopped citron, allspice, and cloves to the creamed butter and sugar. Mix until well combined.
- 3In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking powder and flour. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- 4Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease large baking sheets with butter.
- 5Drop rounded teaspoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
