Today’s special recipe is very popular North Indian Achari Chicken. Achar means pickle. Basically, this is a spicy and tangy chicken curry cooked with pickling spices. I have to say this dish is one of my favorites as it can be prepared in no time. I cook this regularly and it combines best with any roti or rice.
