Mango Powder (Amchur), MDH, 100g – A Must-Have for Indian Cuisine
Are you looking for high-quality dried mango powder (Amchur) from MDH to elevate your Indian dishes? Amchur, also known as mango powder, is made from tart, unripe mangoes. These mangoes are carefully harvested, sun-dried, and finely ground into a flavorful powder.
Flavor
Mango powder offers a unique sweet-and-sour taste that is widely appreciated as a tangy enhancer in Indian cooking. It is often used as a substitute for lemon to add a pleasantly tangy note to dishes. Whether in curries, chutneys, marinades, or as a seasoning, Amchur adds a distinctive flavor to your recipes.
Usage
Amchur is used similarly to tamarind in Indian cuisine. It is especially popular in vegetarian and grain-based dishes. It’s a key ingredient in savory recipes like Chana Masala, Shahi Paneer, and many other North Indian delicacies.
Pro tip: Use mango powder sparingly, as it can burn easily during cooking.
Common Dishes
Mango powder is often used as a souring agent in soups, dals, and vegetable dishes. It also enhances the flavor of meat and fish recipes such as chicken, fish, and Machli Kabab.
It’s perfect for preparing potatoes, eggplants, chickpeas, cauliflower, green beans, stuffed vegetables, or breads like Parathas.
