Cookbook:Amchoor

Amchoor, also called amchur or mango powder, is a seasoning powder made from dry unripe (green) mangoes. It is commonly used in Indian and Pakistani cooking.

Characteristics
Amchoor is a beige or brown powder. It has a tangy and sour flavor. Because it is made from unripe mangoes, it is not sweet. The flavor is somewhat delicate, so it's best added near the end of cooking.

Uses
Amchoor is commonly used as a seasoning/flavoring and a tenderizing agent. Because of its acidity, it can be used to add a sour flavor to foods without adding additional moisture. It is widely used in south Asian cooking.
