Pure Indian Foods Alphonso Mango Puree
Rarely have we seen a mango puree in supermarkets and, if we do, it’s often full of sweeteners and additives. Made from Alphonso mangoes, which are renowned in India for their natural sweetness and buttery-smooth texture, this puree contains no added sugar or preservatives—it’s just pure, juicy mango. About five fresh mangos are packed into every jar of this luscious puree and its silky texture is pourable, yet decadent like yogurt, and has a rich, bright flavor that balances sweet and tart, akin to snacking on refreshing mangoes at their peak season.
Pure Indian Foods Organic Tamarind Date Chutney
A popular accompaniment to samosas, tamarind chutney is a sweet and sour Indian condiment that can act on its own straight from the jar or add deep flavor to soups, sauces and more. This one is rich, but with a drizzleable texture almost akin to maple syrup and also stands out for its clean taste and pronounced acidity. It’s not as saccharine as others we’ve tried, but rather has a softer sweetness from dates that balances well with savory dishes. And after the initial sweetness and tamarind tang comes the spice of cumin and kashmiri chili, then a cleansing, bright bite of ginger. The taste left on the palate is like rich caramelized sugar.
Atina Foods Inji Puli Ginger Tamarind Herbal Jam
Traditionally called inji (Ginger) puli (Tamarind), this ancient herbal jam is a staple at feasts and festivals and has been used for centuries in Kerala, South India as a digestif. Although it’s called a jam, it’s not one in the familiar sense—not jelled or fruity, but with a smooth consistency. This spread has an incredibly fresh, bold ginger flavor—tasting like nothing that’s been preserved in a jar—with a good hit of the spiciness you get from the raw root. The ginger takes center stage here, while the supporting ingredients like fragrant Asafoetida, earthy cumin and mustard are very subtle. It leans in s savory, earthy direction, yet the sweetness of the ginger, tamarind and jaggery evokes the flavor of heavily spiced gingerbread. We can’t find anything on store shelves that compares. The quality and complexity of this jam really sets it apart, making it a quick favorite for dressings, dips and more dishes.
