The word “Achari” makes my mouth watery. Raw Banana is fried and cooked with pickling spices. I dont have words to describe its heavenly taste. I made it yesterday and enjoyed with white bread. You can also use paneer, cauliflower or potatoes to prepare this masala. For a change i tried it with raw banana and the combination of all the spices blended well with this veggie. Lets check the recipe,
