#aamchur

[Bharat Masala, aamchur powder, dry mango powder, everyday Indian cooking]

Amchoor or aamchur or amchur, also referred to as mango powder, is a fruity spice powder made from dried unripe green mangoes and is used as a citrusy seasoning.

I make #pavbhaji in semi industrial quantities and finish the dish with a generous dollop of butter separately in a cast iron skillet. This gives me the flexibility to adjust the texture as per individual preferences. My 11 y.o likes it smooth and so decided to make his batch himself. What he doesn’t know is that the dish is flavored with powdered #cranberries in lieu of #aamchur (dry mango powder) . #glutenfree #streetfood #mumbai

I've been basking in the luxury of #farmfresh 'just picked' #bittermelons / #karela from my local @hillsborofarmcountrymarket . The melons this year have been mild in terms of their characteristic #bitterness and are delicious when paired with #redpotatoes spiced with a powdered blend of #corianderseeds , #cumin , #bishopsweed , #aamchur, #turmeric and a pinch of #cayenne. #Panfried to golden perfection. To retain the perfect cooked level in the potatoes, boil the julienned #bittermelon in salted water till fork tender, then discard the briny water and add to the half cooked potatoes. #vegan #glutenfree #healthy

Stir fried white #bittermelon - a tempering (with #mustardseed and #cumin ) and sauté of the bitter melon, toast the chickpea flour lightly and combine it with a spice blend powder of #corianderseeds , #cumin, #aamchur ( or #tomatopowder) #bishopsweed / #ajwain . Add the dry blend to the #bittermelon and toss well to coat the vegetable pieces.. Let the man x brown slightly and remove from the stove, drizzle with lemon prior to serving. You can add a pinch of brown sugar to the mix if you like. . #vegan #glutenfree #diabeticfriendly #healthy
