Achari Chicken is a spicy chicken with all the ingredients involved in making Achar (pickle). Usually the process of making pickle is the same in whole world with just the difference in ingredients. Chicken is marinated and spiced with mustard, fenugreek, red chillies, saunf and all other ingredients in making pickle.
I have had the opportunity of having Pakistani dishes. I had an interest in cooking at an early age (I was 15 then). It is a little different tasting chicken dish with all the flavors from the mustard and fenugreek. Give it a try and you will know the difference.
