Lahsun Ka Achar
Garlic pickle in mustard oil, winter immunity with attitude. Fresh-ground and unapologetically loud. Serve with idli, dosa, rice or anything that needs waking up.
Ingredients
- Saltto taste
- Garlic6 cloves
- Fenugreek Seeds1 tsp
- Mustard Seeds1 tsp
- Curry Leaves1 sprig
- Dried Red Chilies2
- Asafoetidaa pinch
- Tamarind Paste1 tbsp
- Red Chili Powder1 tsp
- Mustard Oil1 tsp

Instructions
- 1
Chop, measure and line up; the cooking part is over before the radio finishes a song.
- 2
Toast the red chili powder lightly for depth, or keep it raw for brightness — both are correct.
- 3
Pound or blend the garlic with chilies, tamarind and salt; the stone grinder texture is worth chasing.
- 4
Check the seasoning with a plain spoonful of rice; adjust till it pops.
- 5
Finish with a sizzling tempering: mustard seeds, curry leaves and dried red chilies poured over the top; stir in only at serving.
Chef's tip
The tempering isn't optional — it is the aroma layer.
