Amchur

Dried unripe green mango, amchur is usually ground into a fine powder, but it is sometimes available in large pieces. Amchur features the acidic, tart, and slightly spicy flavor of unripe mangoes, and it is added to curries, vegetable dishes, dals, and paratha fillings, and sprinkled over chaats. A little goes a long way, and cooks should remember to use amchur in moderation.
