đ§âđŗ Culinary Uses (Cont.)
Amchur is primarily used to add a bright, tangy zest to a wide variety of North Indian dishes:
- Souring Agent: It replaces fresh lemons or tamarind in curries and lentil dishes (dal) like Chana Masala and Punjabi Chole.
- Seasoning: It is a key ingredient in most Indian spice blends, particularly Chaat Masala, and is sprinkled over street snacks (chaat), salads, and fried foods (pakoras, samosas) for a zesty finish.
- Tenderizer: It is added to marinades for meats, poultry, and fish, where its mild acidity helps to break down proteins and tenderize the food.
- Vegetable Dishes: Used in stir-fried vegetables (sabzis) and stews to balance rich flavors and add a refreshing tartness.
đĒ Health Benefits (Cont.)
Amchur powder retains many of the nutritional benefits of raw green mangoes. It is a good source of vitamins and antioxidants:
- Aids Digestion: It is rich in fiber and phenolic compounds that can help stimulate digestive enzymes, promoting gut health and reducing issues like acidity, bloating, and constipation.
- Rich in Nutrients: It contains vitamins A, E, and C, as well as antioxidants that help fight free radicals.
- High in Iron: It is a good source of iron, which is particularly beneficial for those with iron deficiency or anemia.
- Heart Health: Its antioxidant properties and potassium content can help support cardiovascular health and maintain healthy blood pressure.
