Kuchela, also spelled kucheela, occasionally also kuchila, is a hot relish of the Trinidadian cuisine.

Main ingredient of kuchela is the pulp of unripe mangoes that has been grated and thoroughly strained, if necessary by drying.

Kuchela, as well as the contained spice blend amchar masala, has Indian roots.

Their ancestors came to Trinidad as indentured labourers from the mid 19th century on and brought with them their traditional recipes of their home provinces, which were subsequently adapted to the local offer of provisions.

Nowadays kuchela (and amchar masala) are available as industrially produced, packaged goods in supermarkets.
