About Amti

Amti is a flavorful, tangy lentil-based curry originating from Maharashtrian cuisine in India. It is typically made using toor dal (split pigeon peas) as the base, combined with tamarind, jaggery, coconut, and a blend of aromatic spices such as turmeric, cumin, and coriander. Sometimes, ingredients like curry leaves and mustard seeds are tempered in oil to enhance its depth of flavor. Amti is a nutritious dish, rich in plant-based protein, fiber, and essential vitamins like iron and folate from the lentils. The addition of tamarind provides antioxidants and aids digestion, while jaggery offers a natural sweetness and trace minerals. However, moderation is advised with the oil or ghee used in tempering to keep it heart-healthy. Traditionally served with steamed rice, Amti offers a comforting yet balanced option for those seeking wholesome and authentic Indian flavors.
