Having a rather neutral taste, otherwise, the flavours of amboli come through with well-cooked coconut recipes like fish curries or just good old coconut chutney. Speak to any well-versed Maharashtrian and you will see how they lay down the most important part about amboli — its texture! A good amboli is a fluffy, spongy pancake that is easy to chew. Thus, the perfect consistency and mix of ingredients are sought-after while choosing a great amboli flour.
Coming to its ingredients, rice is the main ingredient of amboli. Just like rice flour, amboli flour is rich in fibre, minerals and other nutrients. However, the process and mixture is what distinguishes the two. Dishes made using amboli flour are suitable for consumption by persons regardless of their age. Many households prepare a formula from amboli flour to feed babies, owing to its high nutritional value.
