Achar (also written as "Achaar") is the Hindi word for the pickle. Indian pickle is very hot and spicy.


This word has also been borrowed by other Indian languages to mean the same thing.


However, these languages may have their own words for pickle. For instance, in Malayalam there are several words for pickle:

  • Uppillittuthu _ literally, "that which is put in salt"; generic term for pickle
  • Maangaacurry _ literally, "curry of mango"; term for mango pickle
  • Naarangyacurry - literally, "curry of lemon"; term for lemon pickle.
  • Ingicurry - literally, "curry of ginger"; term for ginger pickle

Each type of pickle is usually given their own name in Malayalam. The closest term in Malayalam for "pickle" is "uppillittuthu".
