Delicious I Will try too , thanks for sharing, I'm New friend here

It's yummy but too spicy for my hubby 😂

Well Im not going to say this doesnt look tasty but I have some insight that may lead you down a different path but it takes some context ...

I am from Durban South Africa ... in the days of slavery many slaves were brought here to farm sugar cane and since have really entrenched themselves in our culture. A fun fact is that South Africa has the largest amount of Indians in the world (outside of India),As apposed to the Northern Indian cuisine that most people know, we were exposed to the Southern Indians (The Banyas).

Obviously when an entire culture is uprooted and put into a new country with limited resource this gives rise to many inventive cooking methods, one of which is a curry which is indigenous to Durban and its aptly called Durban Curry.

Im sure there are many who would lay claim to star-dome but Durban Curry is the best curry ion the world ... its made pretty cheaply and there is a very fine art to making it authentically ... even those who are not Indian who try do not get it right. Its steeped in culture and is learned and passed on from mother to child (yes men too)

When you taste the Achars that they make you will lose your mind. This is more a "White Boy" achar lol (btw Im a white boy)

Even their Breyani is not done normally ... there is no pie crust and it is the rice that steams itself but it is 10 times more flavorful

If you ever want to learn .. I mean REALLY learn how to do this right. Book yourself a plane ticket to Durban South Africa, Get a Hotel in Umhlanga Rocks (which is a top area) but find a proper old-school Indian housewife in Chatsworth/Veralum or a similar place (which can be quite dangerous sometimes but well worth it) and sit and watch them.

Watch their gatherings ... what the methods ...

You will NEVER regret it

A fun hybrid dish is called a "Bunny Chow" ... dont worry there is no rabbit in it (it comes from the word Banya), Its a Durban Take out staple using Durban Curry ... they are beyond belief they are so good.

PS .. If anyone tries to make it themselves PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE dont try putting clever little chefs twists ... make it authentically or dont make it at all. If you stick to the plan you wont be disappointed.

This is best method of preparing achar. Thank you

The Best 👍👍👍🥰

Love the recipe and the simplicity in the explanation. If the achar becomes a bit too salty, any advice to reduce the saltiness? Thanks.

Hi. How long will the achar keep in the fridge? Thanks.

My family likes this, but would like to know how to make the carrots n cucumbers softer?

Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻. May I ask whether I can freeze this for future use? If yes how long?

How long do you need to cook the rempah for? See most recepies require it to be cooked for at least 30mins?

Too much peanuts

I’m a very picky eater. I don’t like the way the peanut and sesame make it look.
