I have always been planning to make those gravies that are called acharis, however when I saw this recipe in one of the paper clippings, I wasn't sure if it really falls under that category as the name says, however the paper clipping had this masala. So I simply wanted to try this and pair it with the Methi rotis that I made.

This sort of has the pickle seasoning. Though it is completely different masala that has gone in. So whatever is the name given, the gravy is really good. You can simply go ahead and make this.

Though I wanted to write much more, we are right now in my sil's place and couldn't spend more time writing this. So closing with a quick note, wishing all a very happy Sankarthi and enjoy your vacation!

I never tried achari gravy from scratch. The only achari gravy I tried is achari gosht with store bought achari masala.

Gobi achari looks good. Happy Sankrati!
