"Achar" is usually translated as "pickle", although the various "achar" dishes are not actually pickles. They're closer to spicy sauces or chutneys, and there are a lot of different types. I'm posting this one to try with chicken wings.

How To Make nepalese tomato achar

3Remove the tomatoes and chilis from the pan. Roughly chop the tomatoes and chop the chilis a bit more finely.

4Heat the oil in the pan and add the fenugreek seeds, mustard seeds, ginger and garlic. Fry until the fenugreek seeds are just browning. Add the cumin, coriander, tomatoes and chillis.

5Cook over a medium to low heat until there is no liquid left, and the achar is like a thick paste. Stir through the fresh coriander and serve.
