Flavoured cooking oil
Pickle oil is loaded with flavors of the spices and vegetables used in pickling. You can use it to flavor dishes like stir-fries, soups, or marinades. Just be mindful of the intensity of the pickle flavor and adjust accordingly.
Salad dressing
Mix pickle oil with vinegar, mustard, spices and herbs to create a unique salad dressing. It adds tanginess, spicy taste and depth to your salads, especially in the context of bland green salads made with regular veggies or leaves like spinach.
Roasted veggies and meats
Instead of using plain oil for basting the meat or veggies, while roasting or grilling, you can marinate or just brush some pickle oil for that unique taste and flavor.
Pickle mayo
To give any mayonnaise a yummy twist just mix in the leftover pickle oil along with leftover chunks of pickle, and give your delicacies a desi and spicy twist. This mayonnaise can be used to create a tangy spread for sandwiches or a dip for fries and vegetables.
Achaar fried rice
Replace regular cooking oil with achaar oil when making fried rice. The aromatic spices in the oil will impart a delightful flavor to the rice, making it a delicious and unique dish.
Marinades for grilling
Create marinades for grilling meats, fish, or vegetables by combining achaar oil with herbs, garlic, ginger, and yogurt or citrus juice. Let the ingredients marinate for a few hours before grilling for tender and flavorful results.
Achaar hummus
Blend achaar oil into homemade hummus for a spicy kick. The combination of creamy chickpeas and tangy achaar oil creates a flavorful dip that pairs well with pita bread, crackers, or vegetable sticks.
Achaar Pasta sauce
Use achaar oil as a base for pasta sauce by sautéing garlic, onions, and tomatoes in the oil before adding cooked pasta. The spicy and tangy flavors of the achaar oil will add depth to the sauce.
