Amchur powder, or dried mango powder, is a sour spice made from dried green, unripe mangoes. It is commonly used in Indian and South Asian cuisines to add a tangy, slightly sweet, fruity flavor to dishes.
Uses:
1. Flavoring curries and spice mixes – Adds tanginess without adding moisture to the dish.
2. Marinades – Tenderizes meat and enhances its flavor.
3. Chutneys and sauces – Creates a balance of sweetness and tanginess.
4. Snacks – Sprinkled on roasted nuts, fruits, or street foods like chaat.
5. Beverages – Used in traditional drinks like jaljeera.
