Mango, unripe (khatte aam) and mango powder (amchur)

A more common form is mango powder, the ground dried slices, sold in Indian and Pakistani grocery stores as amchur or amchoor. Light brown, dusty-looking, and very tart, mango powder showers stews, broths, and sauces, or folds into marinades, particularly in the northern regions of India, to create a sour presence. In the finger-licking blend of spices called Chaat masala, mango powder is one of two key spices.
