Perk up your meals with these atchar tips

Never tried atchar because you think they’re all blisteringly hot, and besides, you’re not quite sure what to do with them? Well the simple answer is that atchar is a vegetable or fruit pickle that is an integral part of any Indian or South Asian meal. A good atchar should balance a meal, so if you’re serving something spicy, it’s a sweet pickle you’re after like Mild Vegetable Atchar or Mild Mango Atchar. And conversely, if the food is on the bland side, Hot Vegetable Atchar and Hot Mango Atchar will liven things up! Rule of thumb – if it’s savoury and you can eat it with your hands, it’ll be even better with your favourite Atchar.

Perk up your (good quality store-bought) potato salad and/or coleslaw with Peppadew® Mild Mango Atchar with Piquanté Peppers. It’s sensational. 

Next time you’ve got a fillet of snoek or other meaty fish to braai, forget the apricot jam. It’s pureéd Peppadew® Mild Mango Atchar with Piquanté Peppers you’re after!

Remember its origins and complete all your Indian meals with an array of Peppadew® Atchars. They’re also brilliant with samoosas and Indian breads, from naan and paratha to the dramatic dosa!
