What is achar?
Achar is India's original preserved food — raw mango, lime, chilli or vegetables cured slowly in salt, spices and oil until the flavours turn deep, tangy and complex. Every region guards its own style: Gujarat's sweet gorkeri, Andhra's fiery avakaya, Punjab's robust pachranga. A spoonful beside any meal wakes the whole plate up.
How to use
Open the jar and stir once so the spices and oil recombine.
Serve a small spoonful beside any meal — roti, paratha, thepla, dal-chawal or rice.
Use the masala oil to liven up sandwiches, cheese toasties or marinades.
Keep refrigerated after opening and always use a dry spoon.
