Frequently Asked Questions

What is amchoor powder and how is it used?

Amchoor is dried mango powder with tangy, fruity sourness. It's used in chaat, vegetable dishes, marinades, and as a souring agent in dishes where liquid (like lemon or tamarind) would add unwanted moisture.

Can I substitute lemon juice for amchoor?

Lemon provides sourness but adds moisture and lacks amchoor's distinctive fruity, tangy flavour. For dry dishes like aloo tikki and chaat, amchoor is preferred as it adds tang without moisture.

Why is turmeric used in almost every Indian dish?

Turmeric provides golden colour, earthy flavour, and is traditionally valued in Indian cooking. It's a foundational spice in curry bases, dal, and rice dishes, forming the base of most Indian cuisine.

How should I store turmeric and amchoor powder?

Store in airtight containers away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. Ground turmeric and amchoor are best used within 6-12 months for optimal colour, flavour, and aroma.

Can I use fresh turmeric instead of powder?

Fresh turmeric has a different, more vibrant flavour and requires peeling and grating. Turmeric powder is more convenient for everyday cooking. Use 1 tablespoon fresh grated turmeric per 1 teaspoon powder.
