Guyanese Achar

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Add chopped onion and cook, stirring frequently, until softened and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

Stir in chopped garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Sprinkle curry powder over the mixture and stir well to coat the onions and garlic, cooking for about 1 minute to bloom the spices.

Add thinly sliced jalapeño peppers and chopped tomatoes to the skillet, stirring to combine.

Cook the mixture for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down and the sauce thickens slightly.

Squeeze lime juice into the achar and stir to incorporate, then taste and adjust seasoning with salt as needed.

Transfer the achar to a serving bowl and allow to cool slightly before serving at room temperature or chilled alongside curries and rice.
