Amchoor (pronounced AHM-choor), also spelled "aamchur," is a citrusy seasoning made from dried unripe mangos. Produced in India, amchoor, also referred to as mango powder, is used both to flavor foods such as fruit salads, curries, and dals and to tenderize meats, poultry, and fish.
Once harvested, the green mangoes are peeled, thinly sliced, and sun-dried. The dried slices, which are light brown and resemble strips of woody bark, can be purchased whole and ground by the individual at home, but the majority of the slices processed in this way are ground into fine powder and sold as ready-made amchoor.
