Gosht ka Achaar / Meat pickle
This is my most favorite and amazing pickle recipe with Meat that is made in our house specially on Eid ul Adha days. This Meat pickle has ground mustard seeds, Cumin seeds and lemon juice which imparts a major flavor, aroma and taste.
This is my aunt’s recipe. She makes the most amazing achaar. Indians love Achar the most and so do I. Pickles are something that can be eaten along with plain dals and pickles work as a great combination with rice and dal.
The word pickle itself makes us feel that the whole process is quite taxing and lengthy but the procedure is not that difficult and the Achar can be stored for a couple of days.
