Garlic Achar ( punjabi style )

Punjabi-Style Garlic Pickle (Garlic Achar)

Punjabi-style garlic pickle, or Lehsun ka Achar, is a bold and flavorful condiment that brings the robust taste of garlic to life. Made using whole or sliced garlic cloves, this pickle is infused with a rich blend of traditional Indian spices like mustard seeds, fenugreek, turmeric, and red chili powder. The addition of mustard oil not only enhances the aroma but also adds a distinctive, earthy depth that is characteristic of Punjabi cuisine.

This garlic pickle is a perfect balance of spicy, tangy, and slightly bitter flavors, making it an irresistible accompaniment to parathas, rice, dal, or even as a zesty twist to snacks. Its slow pickling process ensures that the garlic softens while soaking up the spices and oil, creating a luscious texture and intense flavor.

A staple in many Punjabi households, this pickle is not only a treat for the taste buds but also boasts numerous health benefits, thanks to the natural goodness of garlic and the traditional spices.
