I tried this recipe, it turned out yummy..
mam instead of brown sugar can we use normal white sugar. and instead of nimbu ka phool can we use lemon juice?
Little different from the normal achar, but gorged by everyone during dinner as the sweet ans sour taste with a hint of brown sugar, it quickly became my husband''s tiffin accompaniment.
