Achar Gosht

Pakistani Achar Gosht Recipe

Pakistani-style achar gosht, or achari gosht it’s a meat curry (mutton or chicken) cooked with pickle taste 😛 YUM, the first time I tried this was in Pakistan and “Hola! I’m in love“, the reason I like this recipe so much because of the Achar if you don’t know what is Achar is a south Asian pickle which contains, lemon, carrot, raw mango, green chillies, and Asian spices in oil, they usually serve it with daal or chicken or you can even have it as an appetizer, the combination of the sourness and spices in it drive me up crazy ….try this Achar.

In this recipe, I changed some certain ingredients but the taste remains the same for example:

  • Instead of 1 cup of oil, I use 2 tablespoons.
  • I don’t cook the tomato sauce separately; I add chopped tomato after the sautéed onion to avoid so much oil.
  • I use Nigella seeds, not onion seeds… Do not get confused between them, they are entirely different.
  • You can use ready ground achar gosht masala (spices), available in Indian/Pakistan Grocery stores or get it from here
