Alternatively, drop the whole slices directly into simmering stews or lentil dishes; they act like a \"bay leaf of sourness,\" which can be removed before serving once the desired tang is achieved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCulinary Versatility:\u003c\/b\u003e Perfect for authentic \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"44\"\u003eKhatta Meetha\u003c\/b\u003e (sweet and sour) dhals, traditional pickles, and slow-braised meat curries.

It is valued in Ayurvedic tradition for its ability to stimulate the taste buds and improve the \"Rasa\" (taste) of a meal while aiding the breakdown of complex fibres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eStorage \u0026amp; Care:\u003c\/b\u003e Because these are dried fruit slices, they must be kept in a bone-dry, airtight container to prevent them from becoming leathery or mouldy. Store in a cool larder away from steam; if kept correctly, these slices retain their potent souring power for many months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Top Op","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56839589232988,"sku":null,"price":3.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0976\/2183\/6124\/files\/top-op-amchoor-whole-200g-spices-385.webp?v=1788211593","url":"https:\/\/gopalgrocers.co.uk\/products\/top-op-amchoor-whole-200g","provider":"Gopal Indian Grocers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
