🇳🇵 Nepal recipe
Achar
Achar is the umbrella term for the spicy, tangy pickles and chutneys that accompany every Nepali meal. The most iconic version is tomato achar, a vibrant, coarsely ground condiment made from roasted tomatoes, toasted sesame seeds, Sichuan pepper, garlic, and chilies, all pounded together with mustard oil. No dal bhat is complete without a fiery spoonful of achar, which adds a burst of flavor that ties the entire meal together.
