Achaari Chole Pulav is that simple twist in your regular pulav along with goodness of chole in it. While most of the times we add vegetables in the pulav but here we added chole. This not just makes this meal complete but also saves you from making chole seperately. One pot meal which is easy and healthy for sure. So when in hurry , go ahead and make some Achaari Chole Pulav and you won’t regret.

I have also used mustard oil and that does well with achaar flavour but otherwise any other oil too would work. Then in addition of panch phoran that’s mustard, fenugreek, cumin, fennel and nigella don’t miss the pickle or home made achaar masala. That takes this whole pulav to next level. Remember the oil is minimal so try to eat this when its fresh and warm otherwise you will find it dry. Feel free to combine with raita of choice, I made a quick aloo raita and some chutney. You must try this recipe on day when you don’t want to make anything fancy but still nice and interesting.
