Preparating achaar, or Indian pickle, is a well-loved tradition that has stood the test of time in Indian cuisine. It is more than a condiment; it is an explosion of strong flavors that can transform any dish.

The good news? You can simply prepare it with seasonal, local produce. This tutorial shall lead you through a range of simple and classic achaar recipes, all ready in minutes!


🥄 Understanding Achaar

Achaar is a popular Indian condiment that depends on region and season of the year, typically containing a mix of spices, vegetables, and fruits.

In contrast to the not-so-spicy pickles common in other traditions, Indian achaar is renowned for its pungent, hot flavors. The condiment may turn an ordinary meal into a colorful celebration.

When preparing achaar at home, you can have complete control over ingredients. This implies that you can employ fresh, locally grown produce, essentially cutting down on your intake of preservatives and artificial flavors present in store-bought pickles.

Storing Your NIMBU KA ACHAAR

After preparing your achaar, proper storage is crucial. Use glass containers or jars, ensuring they are sterilized. Ideally, allow your achaar to sit for a couple of days in a cool place or the refrigerator to let the flavors meld. Avoid using metal utensils to reduce oxidation.
