Instant Amchoor Chutney 

Chef Raj Thandhi Darpan, 14 Apr, 2025

     

    Ingredients: 

     

    3 tablespoons dry mango powder (amchoor powder) 

    1 1/2 cup cold water 

    3/4 cup powdered gur (shakkar) 

    1 teaspoon black salt (kala namak)  

    1/2 teaspoon deghi mirch  

    1/2 tablespoon roasted cumin powder (jeera) 

    1 teaspoon dry ginger 

     
    Directions: 

    • Add the amchoor powder to cold water and whisk well. Make sure you whisk out any lumps.  
    • Bring the water and amchoor mixture to a boil on medium heat. Reduce to a simmer and let cook for 2 minutes.  
    • Add in the shakkar and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. At this point, taste the chutney and add more sugar if you’d like it sweeter.  
    • Add the rest of the powdered spices and mix well. Simmer for another 5 minutes.  
    • Strain the mixture into a glass jar. Cool and store in the fridge for up to 3 months. 

     

    Hot Tip: 
    Always use a clean spoon when pouring the chutney to prevent it from going bad.
