Achar Masala Seasoning (Indian Pickle Spice)

Often referred to as pickle spice, this blend of rich, aromatic spices is ideal for use in pickling fruits & veg – creating a classic spicy, sour pickle taste.

This can also be used as a spice blend, adding to sauces, curries & using to garnish traditional dishes such as khichu (a snack made from rice flour)
