Saunth Powder for chai, sweets and traditional recipes
Saunth Powder is a useful ingredient in many Indian kitchens. Add a small amount to masala chai for a stronger ginger flavour, or use it in traditional preparations such as sonth ke ladoo. It can also be included in selected chutneys, spice blends and homemade snacks.
Its flavour is concentrated and pungent, so start with a small quantity and adjust according to your recipe. The right amount depends on the dish and how strong you want the ginger flavour to be.
How dry ginger powder differs from fresh adrak
Fresh adrak and Saunth Powder come from the same plant, but they have different flavours and uses. Fresh ginger has a juicier, fresher taste, while dried ginger powder has a more concentrated, warm and pungent flavour. This makes saunth useful in recipes where a dry spice is easier to mix in.
You can add it to selected curries, gravies, marinades and traditional sweet preparations. Since it is already ground, it can be mixed directly into recipes that call for dry ginger powder.
