Product Description
Mango Powder (Amchoor)
Mango powder, also called amchoor or amchur, is a fine, pale beige powder made from dried unripe green mangoes. It adds a sour, fruity tang to curries, snacks and marinades without adding liquid.
Home cooks reach for amchoor when a dish needs brightness but lemon juice or tamarind would make it too wet. It is a store cupboard staple in North Indian cooking.
What Amchoor Tastes Like
Amchoor tastes sharply sour with a light, fruity edge and only a hint of sweetness. The flavour is clean and tangy, closer to dried lime than to ripe mango.
The powder is dry, fine and slightly sticky when it meets moisture. It blends smoothly into spice mixes and dissolves quickly into hot dishes.
Ways to Use Mango Powder
Amchoor works in dry spice blends, vegetable dishes and fillings. These are some of the most common uses:
- Chaat masala and other homemade spice blends
- Chana masala and chole, for a sour finish
- Aloo gobi, bhindi masala and other dry vegetable curries
- Samosa and stuffed paratha fillings
- Marinades for paneer, chicken and grilled vegetables
- Dals and chutneys that need a sour note
- Sprinkled over fruit, salads or fried snacks such as pakoras
How to Cook with Amchoor
Amchoor is best added towards the end of cooking, or sprinkled on at the table. Long cooking can dull its sharp, fresh tang.
Start with half a teaspoon, stir it in and taste. You can add more, but you cannot take it out. It is also a handy swap when a recipe calls for lemon juice and you want to keep the dish dry, as in a spice rub or a pan-fried vegetable dish.
Mango Powder FAQ
Is amchoor the same as ripe mango powder?
No, amchoor is made from unripe green mangoes, so it is sour rather than sweet. Powders made from ripe mango taste much fruitier and are used differently.
Can I use amchoor instead of lemon juice?
Yes, amchoor can replace lemon juice when you want sourness without extra liquid. Add a small pinch at a time and taste as you go.
When should I add amchoor to a curry?
Add it in the last few minutes of cooking for the sharpest tang. For dry spice rubs and marinades, mix it in with the other spices before cooking.
Add mango powder to your basket ready for your next chana masala, homemade chaat masala or batch of samosas.

We take great care when preparing and securely packing every order; however, during transportation, parcels may be handled by several parties, including the courier, and despite our best efforts, minor cosmetic damage such as dents, marks, scuffs or damage to external packaging may occasionally occur. Minor cosmetic damage that does not affect the product’s safety, quality or intended use will not normally be considered a product defect. This is particularly applicable to products supplied in cans, tins, plastic containers, boxes or similar packaging.

Where damage appears to have occurred during delivery, we may need to raise a claim with the courier, and you may be required to complete and return any Damage on Receipt (DOR) form or other documentation requested by the courier before the claim can be processed. Some products we sell are price-marked or display a manufacturer’s recommended or printed retail price. Please note that our online selling prices may differ from the price printed on the product because online orders involve additional costs such as picking, packing, packaging materials, warehouse handling, payment processing, website administration and delivery-related costs. You may therefore receive a product displaying a printed or recommended retail price that is lower than the price you paid online. The price you agree to pay is the online selling price displayed on our website at the time you place your order, and the presence of a lower printed or recommended retail price on the packaging does not, by itself, mean that the online purchase price was incorrect.

Such variations do not necessarily indicate that the product supplied is different from the product ordered, provided that the product itself corresponds to the description and specifications stated on the website. We ask customers to check their order and products as soon as reasonably possible after delivery and contact us promptly if there is any material damage, fault, incorrect item or issue with the goods.
