 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
 12                    Limes
    1/4  Cup           Coarse Sea Salt
  1      Tbs           Fenugreek Seeds
  1      Tbs           Mustard Seeds
  2      Tbs           Chile Powder
  1      Tbs           Ground Turmeric
  1      Cup           Vegetable Oil
                       Cilantro -- for garnish

    1. Cut each lime lengthwise into 8 slim wedges- place in a large bowl
    - sprinkle with salt and set aside.

    2. Put fenugreek and mustard into a skillet and dry-roast over medium
    heat about 1 to 2 minutes, until they begin to pop.  Put into a mortar
    and grind to a fine powder with a pestle.

    3. Add chili and turmeric and mix well.  Sprinkle the spice mixture
    over the limes and stir gently. Pour the oil over the limes and cover
    with a dry cloth.

    4. Leave the bowl in a sunny place 10 to 12 days, until the limes have
    softened.  Pack in jars , seal them, and store in a cool, dark place.

    I found this recipe in 'The Hot and Spicy Cookbook' by Crescent Books.


    I have yet to try these out, but the sound interesting.
