About this dish
South Asian pickles, known as achar among other names, are pickled and often highly-spiced condiments made from a variety of vegetables and fruits preserved in brine, vinegar, edible oils, and South Asian spices.

Since the Columbian exchange, which brought chili peppers to India, pickles have often been hotly-spiced.
