What is Achar pickle?
Achar pickle is a South Asian condiment made by preserving fruit or vegetables with salt and a bold mix of spices, often with oil. Recipes vary widely by region and ingredient, and it is typically served as a side rather than eaten on its own.
Its sharp, spicy, salty flavour can brighten a plate of rice, lentils, flatbread or grilled food. In South Asian homes and restaurants, a little is often spooned alongside the main dishes; elsewhere, it works much like a punchy relish or pickle. It is concentrated, so a small serving goes a long way. Oil contributes to its energy content: it has 130 calories per 100 g. Start with a little and add more to taste, especially alongside already salty food.
