Lemon Pickle

Lemon Pickle, or “Nimbu ka Achaar,” is a tangy, zesty, and slightly spicy Indian condiment made from fresh lemons, salt, and a blend of aromatic spices. Often preserved in oil or brine, this traditional pickle develops a rich and complex flavor as it matures, balancing sourness with a hint of heat and spice. Perfect as a side dish or accompaniment, Lemon Pickle pairs wonderfully with rice, parathas, or curd, adding a burst of flavor to any meal. Its long shelf life and bold taste make it a timeless favorite in Indian households.
