Health Benefits of Gajar Ka Achar
Apart from being a flavorful condiment, Gajar Ka Achar offers numerous health benefits. Carrots are loaded with essential nutrients, such as Vitamin A, which support eye health, boost the immune system, and promote glowing skin. When combined with mustard seeds, turmeric, and other beneficial spices, Gajar Ka Achar becomes even more nourishing.
