Trini Amchar Mango

Amchar mango is a vibrant and flavorful condiment popular in Trinidad and Tobago. Made from unripe green mangoes that are cooked, pickled, and cured with a blend of aromatic spices known as “amchar masala,” it offers a unique taste experience. This relish is characterized by its piquant, zesty, and often slightly sweet and spicy profile, with prominent notes of garlic, chadon beni (a local herb similar to cilantro), and hot pepper. Amchar mango is a versatile accompaniment, traditionally served alongside curries and other East Indian dishes to add a burst of flavor and a delightful contrast. It’s a must-have for those seeking an authentic taste of Trinidadian cuisine.
