Achari Chicken

Achari curry is made with all the spices of pickle or achar/pickle. Achari chicken is a delicious dish which goes very well with roti, parathas or naan. Some of us like achari chicken with lots of spice and stuffed chilli. But personally I like this way. Some of us can easy to easy to add oil from achar (Pickle). If you want more spice, use these spices (mustard, fennel, nigella, and fenugreek) 1 and half times more. If you want little bit sour, use lemon juice.
