Anardana Powder (Dried Pomegranate Seed Powder) - Ancy - 200 g

Anardana powder is made by grinding dried pomegranate seeds (anardana) into a fine powder. In English it is called dried pomegranate seed powder. It has a tangy, mildly sweet and fruity taste and is used as a souring agent in North Indian and Punjabi cooking. A spoon of anardana powder gives chole and chana masala their dark, tangy depth. It is also sprinkled over chaat, fruit chaat and raita, mixed into green chutney, used in kebab and tikka marinades, and added to the filling of aloo paratha, samosa and pakoras. Because it is a dry powder, it adds sourness without adding moisture, so cooks use it in place of lemon juice, amchur or tamarind in dry vegetables and stuffings. This anardana powder is packed by Ancy and contains no added artificial colours or preservatives, as per the seller. Store it in an airtight jar away from moisture. Available in a 200 g pack.
