WHAT IS ACHARI PANEER?
Tangy Indian Achari Paneer is pickled tangy curry that consists of paneer (Indian Cottage Cheese) with the help of Homemade Achari Masala. I can easily say that this has to be my favorite paneer recipe. The flavorful recipe originated in India. This wonderful Indian recipe holds a special place in my heart. It was the first paneer dish my husband ever made for me, so whenever he cooks it, it takes me back to the early days of our marriage. As you might recall, Chicken Jalfrezi was the first dish I ever made for him. I seriously love the Achari flavor, you can make anything Achari flavor like Achari Aloo, Achari Chicken, or my favorite Achari Gosht.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ACHARI PANEER AND KARAHI PANEER?
Achari Paneer is a completely different dish from Karahi Paneer. The Homemade Achari Masala includes Nigella seeds (Kalonji), Amchur powder, and other ingredients that give the dish its distinctive tangy flavor. On the other hand, Karahi is made with a Homemade Karahi Masala that features a different blend of spices and seasonings.
INGREDIENTS YOU’LL NEED
Paneer- I used the store-bought one from Costco but feel free to use the homemade one. Make sure you cut the Paneer first then soak it in salt water, this step will soften your paneer then fry Ginger Garlic Paste- I used homemade but you can use store-bought one. Tomatoes- I used Roma Tomatoes but you can use any medium-size tomato. Homemade Achari Masala- This homemade masala is AMAZING! I can’t say enough good things about things about my husband’s homemade Achari Masala but you can subtutitute store-bought Achari Masala. Green peppers- I get my green pepper or green chilis from local South Asian (desi) store but you can Serrano pepper as well.
