Usage of Amchoor Powder is:

• Commonly used in northern Indian cooking, especially vegetarian dishes, Amchoor gives a sour, tangy, fruity flavor to food - stir fried vegetable dishes, soups, curries. With a sharply sour flavor, it is added to chutneys, pickles and some stir fries much as vinegar is used in other parts of the world.

• It is used especially in India in the famous Chal Masala consisting of mint, ginger, ajowan, cayenne, grenadine seeds, cumin seeds and amchoor.

• We find also amchoor in Nepalese cuisine and some Middle Eastern dish. It`s also used to tenderize poultry, meat and fish.

• In Occidental Cuisine, it adds excitement to vinaigrettes, braised vegetables, fish court-bouillon or even perhaps a butter biscuit, and can replace lemon or vinegar.
