Central Hills, Nepal
Akabare Achar
Round, red, and unapologetic.
Akabare chilies are small, round, and grow all over the hills of eastern and central Nepal. We ferment them lightly before jarring, which takes the raw edge off the heat and adds a sour note you won't get from a fresh chili sauce. Good with momo, good with anything that needs waking up.

The Story Behind It
This is the achar our team fights over in the office fridge. We've had to start labeling jars with people's names.

Tastes like my grandmother's kitchen
The fermented sourness is exactly right. Ordered three more jars for my sister in Dubai.

With momo, obviously
This is the only achar my roommates and I agree on. Goes straight into the momo dip.
