Sukuti Achar - सुकुटी अचार

Sukuti Achar (सुकुटी अचार) is a popular Nepali pickle made from sukuti, which is dried meat, typically buffalo or goat. The dried meat is first softened by roasting or lightly frying and then mixed with various spices, creating a flavorful and spicy pickle. Ingredients like mustard oil, garlic, ginger, chilies, cilantro, and lemon juice are commonly used to enhance the taste.

Sukuti Achar has a smoky, savory flavor due to the dried meat, and the tangy, spicy seasoning adds a delicious kick. It is often served as a side dish with dal-bhat, chiura (beaten rice), or used as a snack or appetizer. The chewy texture of the dried meat combined with the spicy and tangy achar makes it a favorite in Nepali cuisine, especially in the hilly and mountainous regions where drying meat is a common preservation method.
