Dried Plums (Alu Bukhara) — Sweet-Tart Depth for Curries, Chutneys & Snacks

Dried Plums bring a rich sweet-tart flavour and soft, chewy texture to both savoury and sweet recipes. Commonly known in Bangladesh as Alu Bukhara or Aloo Bukhara (আলুবোখারা), they are widely used in biryani, meat curries, chutneys, sauces, desserts and traditional dishes. Their natural fruity acidity can add balance and depth to rich recipes when used in measured amounts.

Sweet, Tart & Deeply Fruity

• Balanced sweet-and-tangy fruit profile
• Softens beautifully during cooking
• Adds contrast to rich savoury dishes
• Useful in chutneys, rice and festive recipes

Balancing Rich Dishes with Fruit

Rinse when preferred and add during cooking so the plums soften and release their flavour.

• Biryani and festive pulao
• Meat curries and rich gravies
• Chutneys, sauces and relishes
• Desserts and slow-cooked fruit preparations

Care for Natural Fruit Texture

Keep the dried plums sealed to protect them from excess moisture and drying.

• Store in a cool, dry place
• Reseal tightly after opening
• Use clean, dry utensils
• Refer to the label for stone status, origin and allergens
