Achari Aloo 

There is a plethora of Indian potato dishes but this one has our beloved achar. This is basically a spicy potato dish that has all the flavours of a spicy and scrumptious North Indian pickle. When served with chapati or parantha, this potato dish can give a treat to your taste buds. Here’s how you can make this achari aloo at home. 

Achari Paneer 

After aloo, I think paneer is one such ingredient which people especially vegetarians fondly eat. Achari paneer is yet another spicy and flavourful dish served with roti as well as rice. This can work like a main course dish as well as a party snack. Want the recipe? Have a look below.

Achari Chicken 

Among so many achari dishes, achari chicken     is my favourite. This chicken has all spices that we usually put in a North Indian pickle. It tastes different from other chicken dishes but is lip-smacking. You can serve it with roti, naan, tandoori roti or even rice. Here’s the recipe of this yummy chicken dish.
