Located in the southeastern coastal region of India, Andhra Pradesh is home to Banaganapalli mangos, named after the village from which they hail. Also referred to as The King of Mangos, this variety is prized for its pleasing aroma, firm, meaty texture and sweet, fiberless pulp. Our amchur powder is made from green, unripe Banaganapalli mangos sourced from a self-sustainable farm. Use a pinch of this salty, tangy-sweet powder to instantly change the complexity of flavor in everything from stews and stir-fries to veggies, fish and meat. You can even sprinkle it over your favorite fruits for that little extra kick.

Ingredients

Origin

Andhra Pradesh, India

Using natural and organic farming methods, [first name] Sakkannaiah has cultivated mangos for more than 30 years. The production of amchur powder became his smart solution to curbing food wastage. Instead of composting unripe mangoes that fall from the trees (or selling them at a loss), Sakkannaiah uses traditional methods to process the fruit into amchur powder.

First, the skin of the raw, unripe mango is stripped away, and then the fruit is peeled into small chips that are sundried for up to four days. When they become crispy enough to break and crush, the pieces are salted and ground by hand into a fine powder using a stone mortar and pestle.

Tips for Success

Amchur is commonly used as a souring agent in dishes that call for tangy or sour flavors. It can be used in place of tamarind, lime juice, or vinegar.
