What is Amchoor Chutney?
Amchoor ki chutney is basically an Indian sweet and sour sauce. It’s a khatti-meethi chutney. Khatti means sour, and meethi means sweet. See? Indian sweet and sour sauce. It’s a bit spicy too, though you can adjust the spice level if needed. It’s a great substitute for tamarind chutney. Both chutneys are similar in that they have a fruity, tangy flavor. The main ingredient here is amchoor powder, also spelled amchur powder.
What is Amchoor/Amchur Powder?
Aam means mango, and choor means powder. Amchur is dried green mango powder. Green mangoes are raw and sour, so amchoor powder adds a tangy flavor to recipes. Indian recipes often call for souring agents (like tamarind, kodumpuli, kokum, dry pomegranate seeds, to name a few). Amchoor powder is a commonly used souring agent – it’s easy to find and used in many recipes. You can find amchoor powder online or at your local Indian grocery store. When you combine dry mango powder with sugar, water, and spices, you get this chutney.
