Trivia

[Trivia] Acidity is crucial in Indian cuisine. Instead of tomatoes or tamarind, Amchoor is strictly used for 'dry curries' or stir-fries that avoid extra moisture.

Eating tips & etiquette

[Unique Eating] To prevent the acidity from cooking off, sprinkle it just before turning off the heat or right before eating for a fresh tartness.
