Amchoor chicken is a wonderful Indian dish that is on the healthy side. The addition of spices, onions and tomatoes make it really easy to eat and love over and over again. Amchoor, which is dry mango powder, is used as a seasoning in Indian cuisine. Though the flavours are citrusy and sour, amchoor powder lends a very unique fruity taste to soups, samosas, dals, curries, meat, vegetables and so on. The flavour is magical, thanks to the way Indians make use of this lip-smacking ingredient.
The bursting flavours of chilli and mango powder in this recipe will result in a dish that is an absolute hit too! You may want to learn how to make this dish if the thought of mango-ish, sour and spicy flavours has piqued your curiosity. Are you ready to make amchoor chicken with us?
