Achcharu // අච්චාරු // அச்சாறு
A tangy, spicy-sweet traditional Sri Lankan pickle made with shallots, green chilies, dates, carrots, and ground mustard seed pickled in vinegar.
Origin
While the root traces to Persian āchār, the distinctive Sri Lankan preparation style ("Malay Achcharu") was introduced and popularized by the Sri Lankan Malay community from the Malay/Indonesian word acar.
