Amchur Powder

By Mita Mondal
Amchur powder is a tangy and sour spice made from dried unripe (raw) mangoes. The mangoes are peeled, deseeded, and then dried under the sun until they become dehydrated and crispy. It is then ground to perfection.

Instructions
 

  • Take about 1 kilogram of fresh raw mangoes or as much as you want to make powder of, peel and deseed them.

  • Leave dry them under the sun in a large bowl for about a week until they are dried nicely.
  • Transfer the dried mango pieces into a grinder.
  • Grind them nicely.
    (Pro tip: You may grind it a couple of times if you want a smoother and finer powder.
  • Transfer the powder to a bowl and your amchur or dried mango powder is ready.

Notes

  1. Use unripe green mangoes to make amchur powder at home.
  2. Ensure that the mango slices are free from moisture. I suggest sun-drying them for at least a week before grinding to achieve the right texture of the powder.
  3. I prefer a smooth texture in my masala powder and therefore grind it a couple of times. However, you may leave it a bit coarse if you prefer it that way.
  4. I suggest adding a few grains of rice to the container while storing. It will absorb excess moisture and prevent clumping.
