Achari chicken

As the name suggests this chicken dish is made by blending chicken with the spices used in making pickles.The earthy flavour of mustard ,bitterness of fenugreek seeds,and the tangy lemon juice elevate this simple chicken to the next level of taste.This can be relished with paratha,steamed rice,pulao.But I recommend it with steamed rice  or paratha.This is the my Moms recipe . And now heading to the recipe.
