Recipe Notes

The Dried apricots used in this recipe are tart ones. It lends a tart & sweet flavor. The apricots I used are dried with their stone in and have a brownish color. You can source them in Indian / Mediterranean stores.
Alternately, if you use the dried apricots usually available in the stores, you may need to add some lemon juice to bring out the slightly tart flavor that the sun dried apricots have.
