Pyaaz ka Achar | प्याज़ का अचार | Chef Harpal Singh

Pyaaz ka Achar is a tangy and spicy Indian pickle made with small onions or shallots, often combined with a blend of aromatic spices, mustard oil, and vinegar or lemon juice for preservation. The onions are marinated in spices like mustard seeds, fenugreek, fennel, turmeric, and red chili, creating a flavorful condiment that pairs well with Indian meals such as parathas, curries, and rice dishes. #chefharpalsingh #namakshamak #recipe #indianfood #achar Ingredients Quantity Onions (big) 4 no Mustard oil 3 tbsp Cumin seeds ½ tsp Mustard seeds ½ tsp Fenugreek seeds ¼ tsp Fennel seeds ¼ tsp Carom seeds 1 tsp Nigella seeds ½ tsp Asafoetida ¼ tsp Ginger garlic paste 1 tbsp Red chilli powder 2 tsp Dry mango powder 1 tsp Turmeric powder ½ tsp Black salt 1 tsp Vinegar 1 tbsp Jaggery 2 tbsp Salt to taste Method:- 1.
