Frequently Asked Questions

What is amchur powder and what does it taste like? Amchur is sun-dried raw mango ground to a powder — it has an intensely fruity, sour flavor with a hint of sweetness from the mango.

Can I substitute lemon juice for amchur powder? You can, but they are not identical — amchur provides fruity mango tartness while lemon adds a sharper citrus acidity. Use sparingly as flavors differ.

How much amchur should I use per recipe? Start with half a teaspoon per dish as amchur is quite potent — it is easy to add more but difficult to reduce once added.
