Understanding Achaar
Achaar is a beloved Indian condiment that varies by region and season, often incorporating a variety of spices, vegetables, and fruits. Unlike the milder pickles found in other cuisines, Indian achaar is characterized by its intense, spicy flavors. This condiment can transform a simple meal into a vibrant feast.
When you make achaar at home, you have full control over the ingredients. This means you can use fresh, locally sourced produce, effectively reducing your intake of preservatives and artificial flavors commonly found in store-bought pickles.
