Preparation Method
- Mature raw mangoes are peeled, chopped and dried and under strong sunlight until completely dry. The powdered form of mangoes dried thus is called amchoor. Sour, sweet and astringent in essence, amchoor works as a mild laxative. Readily available in Indian stores, it stays good for months if preserved in a cool, dry place and adds a delectable tang to many a dish. Bitter gourds which are good for pittas and kaphas, absorb the flavour of amchoor and other spices in this recipe, making it possible for vatas to enjoy this dish too.
