Amchur is made from unripe green mangoes that are sliced, sun-dried, and then ground into a fine powder. This process preserves the tartness of the raw fruit, creating a versatile souring agent used extensively in North Indian cuisine, from curries and chutneys to marinades and beverages. It provides a unique flavor that is less sharp than lemon juice.

Amchur is primarily a culinary ingredient, prized for its ability to add a sour, citrusy tang to dishes without adding moisture. In Ayurveda, its sour taste is known to stimulate digestion and pacify the Vata dosha. It is a rich source of Vitamin C and antioxidants, helping to boost immunity and fight free radical damage. It is also used in skincare for its mild exfoliating and skin-brightening properties.
● For Culinary Tang: Sprinkle Amchur into lentil dishes (dals), vegetable curries, and soups toward the end of cooking to add a bright, sour flavor.
● For a Brightening Face Pack: Mix a small amount of Amchur powder with honey or yogurt to create a Vitamin C-rich face mask that helps to exfoliate and brighten the skin.
