amchur: amchur, mango powder
origin: india
   

Ground dried mango powder from a green or unripe fruit, giving a distinctive sour and slightly fruity flavour. Used as a souring and thickening agent in India in place of lemon, vinegar or tamarind in curry or in chutney. The amchur powder has a strong tenderising quality and is useful either as a dry seasoning or in a marinade.

uses: Use amchur in a dry seasoning for fillets of fish or in a marinade for seafood. Add to curry or a soup for a hint of lemon-like sourness to lift all the flavours.
