Achari Pulao

July 8, 2014 By Priya Shiva 15 Comments

Print Recipe
I recently made some mango pickles and still have some pickle brine. So, decided to make some pickled pilaf today. Everyone usually loves this rice as the pickle brine adds nice aroma and flavor to a simple vegetable pilaf. You can also use achari masala in place of pickle brine. This rice can be enjoyed with some raita or you can serve it with some dal.
I have shared the recipe for achari masala earlier and click here for recipe.

      Yes, taste will vary. Brown basmati rice takes longer to cook too..
