Amchoor powder (dried young and green mango) is used in northern indian dishes to give it the umami flavour. Tamarind is usually used in the south.

If you can get some to try out in your Indian recipes, I highly recommend! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Gork@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) Thanks!
