Amchur also known as dry mango powder, is a tangy, pale brown spice made from dried unripe green mangoes. It has a sour, fruity flavor with subtle sweetness and is commonly used in Indian cuisine to add a zesty kick without adding moisture. Amchur is especially popular in North Indian dishes like chutneys, curries, dals, and street foods such as chaats.

Rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and iron, amchur is known to aid digestion, boost immunity, and improve skin health. It also acts as a natural tenderizer for meats and adds a refreshing tartness similar to lemon or tamarind.
