anardana

origin: India

Ground dried pomegranate seeds used in a similar way to amchur. The delicious sour and slightly fruity flavour of anardana is particularly good in a dry seasoning mix often used in India to season streetfood snacks.

uses: Use anardana in a dry seasoning for fillets of fish or in a marinade for seafood. Add anardana to curry or a soup for a hint of lemon-like sourness to lift all the flavours. Add a pinch of anardana to a vegetable dish such as fried potatoes with mustard seeds to give the dish a lift and inject a real piquancy
