Description
Top Op Arrowroot Powder 100G is starch drawn from the arrowroot rhizome, a fine white powder with no taste. It is the thickener reached for when a sauce or a jelly needs to stay clear.
Cornflour turns a sauce slightly opaque; arrowroot does not, which is why it is used in fruit glazes and clear gravies. It also has a place in vrat cooking, since it is a root starch rather than a cereal, and it is used in some Indian sweets and in baby food.
Arrowroot or cornflour, which should I use? Arrowroot when the sauce needs to stay clear and glossy, cornflour when it does not matter. Arrowroot also thickens at a lower temperature, so add it near the end and stop cooking once it has thickened.
Why did my sauce go thin again after thickening? Because arrowroot was boiled too long. Unlike cornflour it breaks down with extended heat and the sauce loosens. Stir it in at the end, bring it just to a simmer and take it off.
The everyday alternative, Ching’s corn flour, is cheaper for ordinary thickening, and thickeners and starches sit with the flours and ravas. Vegetarian. Keep it bone dry in a sealed jar, because starch clumps the moment it meets damp air.
