Chicken Achari

Chicken Achari is a tangy and flavorful dish from Indian cuisine, known for its unique blend of spices reminiscent of Indian pickles (achar). Tender pieces of chicken are cooked with a variety of spices including mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds, fennel seeds, and kalonji (nigella seeds), which impart a distinct, slightly sour taste akin to pickles.

The dish often includes yogurt or tomato-based gravy along with onions, garlic, and ginger to create a rich and aromatic sauce. Chicken Achari is typically garnished with fresh cilantro and served with rice or Indian breads like naan or roti. It offers a delightful balance of tanginess and spiciness, making it a popular choice for those who enjoy bold and flavorful Indian dishes.
