Amchoor has a fruity, very tart but slightly resinous taste, with a citrus tang. It is often used as a souring agent, much like lemon but with the benefit of not adding moisture. Use it judiciously, as the bittersweet flavour can be overpowering.
As well as partnering with the following spices that share the same or similar fruity, herbal, and vegetable-like flavour compounds, take advantage of the sweet and puckering qualities of amchoor by pairing with galangal and ginger, or the sweetly aromatic nutmeg and cinnamon.
