Description
Fyonli Lemon Khatta Meetha Pickle is a sweet-and-sour lemon achar made with 62% Kagzi lemon, desi khand (unrefined cane sugar) and whole spices, with no added colour, flavour or preservative.
Khatta meetha nimbu achar sits between a lime pickle and a murabba: sharp from the lemon, softened by sugar, warmed by garam masala. This jar uses Kagzi lemon at 62% and unrefined cane sugar rather than white sugar.
What Is Lemon Khatta Meetha Pickle?
Khatta meetha means sour-and-sweet. The pickle is built on Kagzi (thin-skinned) lemon cured with salt, then balanced with desi khand and spiced with fenugreek, garam masala, red chilli, coriander, fennel and carom seeds, as listed on the label.
Why This Pickle Stands Out
- 62% Kagzi lemon as the main ingredient.
- Desi khand (unrefined cane sugar) for sweetness.
- Whole-spice masala — fenugreek, garam masala, red chilli, coriander, fennel, carom seeds.
- No added colour, flavour or preservative, per the label.
- Cut, salted, sun-rested in small lots and packed by hand.
