Description
Amchoor or aamchur or amchur, also known as mango powder, is a fruity spice powder constructed from dried unripe green mangoes and is used as a citrusy seasoning. It’s produced in India, and is used to flavor foods and add the nutritional benefits of mangoes when the fresh fruit is out of season.
To make amchoor, early-season mangoes are harvested whilst still green and unripe. Once harvested, the green mangoes are peeled, thinly sliced, and sun-dried.
The dried slices, which might be light brown and resemble strips of woody bark, can also be purchased whole and ground by the person at home, but the majority of the slices processed on this way are ground into fine powder and sold as in a position-made amchoor.
It has a honey-like fragrance and a sour fruity flavor and is a tart pale-beige-to-brownish powder. It’s used in dishes where acidity is required, in stir fried vegetable dishes, soups, curries, and to tenderize meat and poultry.
Amchoor is a predominant flavoring agent in north Indian dishes, where It’s used so as to add a sour tangy fruity flavor without moisture. It’s used to flavor samosa and pakora fillings, stews and soups, fruit salads and pastries, curries, chutneys, pickles and dals and to tenderize meats, poultry, and fish.
