Homemade Achar


My mum would always make this Achar once in awhile in containers for us. Each container with different taste for our family members. We like it differently so my mum will adjust the taste according to our preferrence. They usually like it to be added with more chillies and peanuts. Mine is NO PEANUT cos i am allergy to nuts.

Ingredients
3 pc Small Carrots
2 pc Cucumbers
1 Whole Ripe Pineapple (you may used canned pineapple)
3 pc Chili Padi
1 Tbsp Sesame seeds
5 Tbsp White Vinegar
2 Tbs Sugar
1 tsp Seasame Oil
1 Tbsp Salt

Method
  1. Wash carrots, cucumbers, chillies. Slice them into very thin pieces.
  2. Soak the slice carrot, cucumber and chillies in water and add the salt. Mix the vegetable evenly with the salt water for 1 min. Remove all the vegetables and drain dry. Set aside the salt water for later use.
  3. Cut the pineapple into some pieces.
  4. Put the cut pineapple into the salt water and stir for awhile, drain the water away.
  5. Add all the vegetable and pineapple in a mixing bowl.
  6. Add vinegar, sugar, sesame oil and sesame seed. Mix everything evenly.
  7. Store them in a container and place in the fridge.
Best time to eat is after one day later.
