How to Use Amchur Powder
Stir amchur powder into curries, dals and chutneys in the last few minutes of cooking to add a tangy, citrusy kick. It also works well as a dry rub on chicken or fish before grilling, and a small pinch can brighten up roasted vegetables. Start with half a teaspoon and adjust to taste.
Have questions?
What is amchur powder?
Amchur powder, also called dried mango powder, is a spice made from unripe green mangoes that have been peeled, sliced, sun-dried and ground into a fine powder. It has a tangy, citrusy flavour with a subtle sweetness and is used in Indian cooking to add sourness to a dish without adding extra liquid.
What can I substitute for amchur powder?
The most common substitute is lemon juice or lime juice. Use about a quarter cup of lemon juice for every tablespoon of amchur powder. The main difference is that amchur adds tartness without moisture, which makes it useful in dry rubs and spice blends where lemon juice would change the texture of the dish.
What does amchur powder taste like?
It tastes sour and tangy, similar to lemon juice but with a mild fruity flavour from the mango. It is more concentrated than lemon juice so a little goes a long way. Start with half a teaspoon and adjust from there.
How do you use amchur powder in cooking?
Stir it into curries, dals and chutneys near the end of cooking to keep the flavour fresh. It also works well as part of a dry rub for chicken or fish before grilling, and a light sprinkle over roasted potatoes or chickpeas adds a tangy finish. Half a teaspoon is usually enough for a dish serving four.
