Answer 2

Amchoor powder is dried mango powder and is used in Indian cooking, esp North Indian cuisine.  It's acts as a souring agent to balance out the spices.

Amchoor is made by pulverizing sun-dried, unripe wild green mango into a fine powder. This pale beige to brownish powder has a slightly bitter and refreshing taste which can be used by itself or in a mixture. This tangy seasoning has a slight tropical aroma, and is similar to tamarind in flavor.

Cooking Tips:

Commonly used in northern Indian cooking, especially vegetarian dishes, Amchoor gives a sour, tangy, fruity flavor to food - stir fried vegetable dishes, soups, curries. With a sharply sour flavor, it is added to chutneys, pickles and some stir fries much as vinegar is used in other parts of the world.

It is used especially in India in the famous Chai Masala consisting of mint, ginger, ajwain, cayenne, grenadine seeds, cumin seeds and amchoor.

We find also amchoor in Nepalese cuisine and some Middle Eastern dish. It's also used to tenderize poultry, meat and fish.

Answer 3

For non-Indian recipes, you can use amchoor in any recipe where lime juice is used.  The good thing about using amchoor is you get the sourness in dishes where you don't want additional liquid.
