I love Achaar masala. I have never tried making achaar/pickles at home though. While in India, it was more of my Naani, my grandmother and my mother who would make achaars at home and after getting married, the recipes of Achaar are hard to follow in the snow land of New Jersey.
While trying out new recipes, I came across chicken curry, kebabs and even Biryani made from Achaar Masala and now I have a jar of this masala in my Spice cabinet. Its easy to make and makes your dishes wonderful.
