Pomegranate

Fresh pomegranate and its sun-dried seeds are prevalent in curries in the northern and northwestern regions of India. The juicy fresh seeds (sweet-tart) make a great topping for a street food from Mumbai (Spiced Potatoes and Pomegranate Sandwiches). Drying the seeds accentuates their tartness, making them a souring choice for curries like Chickpeas and Potatoes Flavored with Singed Spices.
