Hello Wojtek.

The pickles are usually used as a condiment - small amount on the 
side.

One of our local restaurants does use this sort of pickle to make a 
curry dish Achari Gosht(Lamb) but I have not tried to make it myself.

Local here also uses achar in chicken curries; nicely sharp /spicy I
thought ... (I'm sure I've had lamb, too)

Good luck with it!


They appeared to just stir in a spoonful near the end of the cooking; it
has appeared as a "stripe" through the curry ... so contrasting
flavours, not just "mixed" ...

Claimed as a Bengali thing ...
