Today I’m here with one of a different kind of flavorful rice dish specially made using pickle spice powder or achari masala powder.

This achari chole pulao or chickpeas biryani tastes better when made slightly more spicy. However this one is a very nutritious, protein rich rice preparation.

Today I had made simple cucumber raita to serve as an accompaniment with the biryani using home made creamy (hung) curd
