About Nepali achar (pickles)
Achar (also spelled achaar) is the spiced, tangy pickle that sits at the centre of almost every Nepali plate — a spoonful alongside dal-bhat, momo, sel roti or chiura that ties the whole meal together. Nepali achar ranges from sharp and sour to mouth-numbingly hot, built on mustard oil, timur (Sichuan pepper), fenugreek and garlic rather than the sweeter pickling styles you find elsewhere.
Our shelves cover the classics and the fiery favourites. For heat, there is Dalle in Brine and DRUKCAN Akabare Khursani Achar — the round red dalle and the akabare chillies that give Nepali pickle its famous kick — plus hot chilli-garlic and akabare paste. For the everyday table there is gundruk (fermented mustard greens), mula (radish), lapsi (hot and sweet), timur ko chhop, mango, lemon (kagati), mixed, cucumber, bamboo shoot (tama) and amla, alongside meatier achars like buff (ranga ko achar), mushroom sukuti and chicken.
You can buy any of them online and have them delivered across Canada — free delivery in central Metro Vancouver from $35 (more for outer areas), with flat regional rates elsewhere. Whether you grew up on your grandmother’s achar or are tasting dalle khursani for the first time, it is the easiest way to bring authentic Nepali flavour to your kitchen.
What is Nepali achar?
Achar (achaar) is a spiced Nepali pickle eaten as a condiment with dal-bhat, momo, and snacks. It is typically made with mustard oil, timur (Sichuan pepper), fenugreek, garlic and chillies, and ranges from sour and tangy to very hot.
Do you sell dalle and akabare khursani pickle?
Yes. We stock Dalle in Brine (the round red dalle khursani chilli) and DRUKCAN Akabare Khursani Achar, along with hot chilli-garlic (akabare) pickle, akabare paste and tama akabare achar — these are the spiciest Nepali pickles we carry.
Which Nepali pickles are the spiciest?
The dalle and akabare khursani pickles are the hottest — both are made from Nepal’s famously fiery chillies. If you prefer milder flavour, the lapsi, mula (radish), lemon and mango achars are tangy without the strong heat.
