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.
