Nimbu Ki Chutney | Lemon Chutney was a hit in my household when it was first made. Now this recipe has been shared with all my relatives also. It is tangy and spicy chutney goes well with almost anything. You can carry this pickle cum chutney with paratha while travelling too. Sometimes, this is a lifesaver when we do not have any veggies and we have to pack the lunch box of kids. So, we can serve this chutney with paratha or poori in Tiffin. It is a quick and easy pickle that can be stored for a longer time. So, try to make this chutney at home and let us know your feedback.
