Aloo Bukhara 500g (Afghanistan) is a traditional dried plum product with a naturally rich sweet-and-tangy flavor, chewy texture, and deep fruit character. Known across South Asia as Aloo Bukhara, this fruit is called plum in English, while the dried form is commonly known as dried plum or prune.
Sourced from Afghanistan, this 500g pack is ideal for customers who enjoy dried fruits for snacking, cooking, chutneys, drinks, desserts, or traditional South Asian recipes.
Available from Al Modina Halal Food in Japan, Aloo Bukhara 500g is especially useful for Afghan, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Indian, and other South Asian households looking for dried plums, dry fruits, international groceries, or halal food in Japan.
“Aloo Bukhara” is the South Asian name commonly used for plum.
When the fruit is dried, it develops:
A deeper flavor
More concentrated sweetness
A chewy texture
A stronger sweet-and-sour profile
Longer storage life than fresh plums
The dried form is commonly referred to as a prune or dried plum in English.
Aloo Bukhara should not be confused with apricot, raisin, or tamarind, although it may sometimes be used in similar sweet-and-sour recipes.
This product is sourced from Afghanistan.
Afghanistan and the broader Central and South Asian region have a long tradition of growing and drying fruits such as:
Plums
Apricots
Raisins
Mulberries
Figs
Dried fruits are an important part of the region’s food culture and are commonly eaten as snacks or used in cooking.
For customers in Japan looking for Afghan dry fruits, Aloo Bukhara offers a traditional and familiar option.
One of the main characteristics of dried Aloo Bukhara is its balance of sweetness and acidity.
Drying concentrates the fruit’s natural sugars while preserving its tart plum character.
This creates a flavor that can be described as:
Sweet
Tangy
Slightly sour
Fruity
Rich
Concentrated
This sweet-tart balance makes it especially useful in dishes that need both sweetness and acidity.
Dried Aloo Bukhara generally has a wrinkled exterior and a soft to chewy interior.
The drying process removes much of the fruit’s water, producing a denser texture than fresh plum.
Depending on the batch and drying method, individual fruits may vary in:
Softness
Moisture
Color
Size
Sweetness
Natural variation is normal in dried fruit.
Aloo Bukhara can be enjoyed directly as a dried-fruit snack.
It is suitable for:
Work breaks
Travel
Afternoon snacks
Family sharing
Dry-fruit platters
Tea time
Its naturally concentrated fruit flavor makes it a useful alternative to conventional sweets.
Customers should check whether the fruit contains a stone or pit before eating.
Aloo Bukhara is commonly used in South Asian chutneys.
Its combination of sweetness and sourness makes it especially suitable for creating rich, tangy sauces.
Aloo Bukhara chutney may be prepared with ingredients such as:
Sugar or jaggery
Chili
Salt
Spices
Vinegar or other acidic ingredients
Dates
Raisins
The dried fruit softens during cooking and helps create a thick, flavorful chutney.
Aloo Bukhara chutney is often served alongside rich rice dishes.
It pairs well with:
Chicken biryani
Beef biryani
Mutton biryani
Pulao
Tehari
Festive rice dishes
The sweet-sour flavor helps balance the richness and spices of these meals.
Dried plums are also used in savory dishes where a subtle sweet-and-sour flavor is desired.
They may be incorporated into:
Meat stews
Rice dishes
Sauces
Curries
Slow-cooked dishes
In these recipes, the fruit softens and releases its flavor into the surrounding sauce.
Because recipes vary widely by region, use the amount recommended in your preferred recipe.
Dried Aloo Bukhara is also used to prepare refreshing drinks.
The fruit can be soaked in water until softened, then mixed or strained depending on the recipe.
Popular additions may include:
Sugar
Lemon
Salt
Mint
Spices
This style of drink is especially popular in warmer weather and during Ramadan in parts of South Asia.
Aloo Bukhara can be a useful Ramadan pantry item.
It may be used for:
Iftar drinks

Dried-fruit mixtures
Soaking the fruit first can make it softer and easier to incorporate into recipes.
Many traditional Aloo Bukhara products are sold as whole dried plums and may contain pits.
Customers should therefore inspect the fruit before eating or cooking.
If using it in chutney or sauce, the pit can be removed once the fruit has softened.
Do not assume the product is pitted unless the package specifically says so.
The 500g size is useful for households that regularly use dried fruit.
It is suitable for:
Families
Regular snack use
Ramadan
Chutney preparation

Dried-fruit suppliers generally recommend keeping dried plums:
In a cool place
In a dry place
Away from moisture
Away from direct sunlight
Properly sealed after opening
Japan’s humidity can affect dried fruits, so keeping the package airtight after opening is especially important.
Like other dried fruits, Aloo Bukhara contains naturally occurring fruit sugars that become more concentrated after drying.
It should therefore be enjoyed in reasonable portions as part of a balanced diet.
Customers managing blood sugar or other dietary concerns should follow appropriate professional dietary advice.
