Amchur is a spice and condiment originating from India, but it's also
often used in Pakistan. It's made from unripe mangoes that have been
sliced, dried in the sun, then ground into a powder. The resulting
powder has an intense aroma and tangy flavor.
It
adds a nice level of acidity to a vast number of vegetarian dishes,
especially in Northern India, where it's used in the same way as lemon
juice or vinegar are used in other parts of the world. It's recommended
to add amchur to curries, dals, pickles, and chutneys due to its fruity
and tangy flavors. Amchur can alöso be used in a marinade to tenderize poultry or fish.
