About Alu achar

Alu Achar, a staple of Nepali cuisine, is a flavorful potato pickle made with boiled potatoes, mustard oil, sesame seeds, lemon juice, spices like turmeric and chili, and a mix of fresh herbs. Often paired with rice dishes, this tangy and spicy condiment showcases the rich culinary traditions of Nepal. Packed with nutrients from potatoes, which are a good source of carbohydrates, fiber, and vitamin C, Alu Achar also benefits from the healthy fats found in mustard oil and sesame seeds. However, its high sodium content from added salt and the inclusion of oil make portion control important for those watching their calorie or sodium intake. Perfect for adding zest to meals, Alu Achar not only satisfies the palate but also introduces a unique combination of textures and tastes reflective of its Himalayan roots.
