Anardana Powder – Ground Dried Pomegranate Seeds

Anardana powder — made from sun-dried pomegranate seeds — is one of Indian cooking's oldest souring agents, loved for a tang that is fruitier and rounder than lemon or amchur. Swarnprabha Anardana Powder is carefully dried and finely ground to preserve its natural sweet-sour depth and deep ruby-brown colour, blending smoothly into wet and dry dishes alike. Stir it into chole and chana dishes for authentic Punjabi khatta-pan, whisk it into green and tamarind chutneys, knead it into stuffing for aloo or paneer parathas, or dust it over chaats, pakoras and fruit for a bright finishing note. Entirely natural, with no artificial flavours or preservatives — just pomegranate, patiently dried and ground. A little goes a long way; start with a teaspoon and adjust to taste. Store airtight in a cool, dry place to retain its tang.
