herbal powder

Explanation:
चूर्ण का शाब्दिक अर्थ तो powder ही होता है, पर हम इसका उपयोग ज्यादातर खट्ठा मीठा चूर्ण के लिए करते हैं। तो मेरे विचार से इसे herbal powder कहा जा सकता है।

Powder

Explanation:
I am afraid you might not be getting an exact English equivalent for the same. In fact, ChoorN is a Sanskrit work which is also used in the form of Choora or Choor in Hindi. For example, Mango Powder is known as Amchoor.

Therefore, you may like to use Sweet & Sour Powder for KhattA-MeethA ChoorN.

Just a suggestion.

चूर्ण is known as any ground or minutely fragmented substance; powder; flour but I feel that these options are not much relevant in your case.

You may consider using DIGESTIVE POWDER here because चूर्ण ( जिसे आम बोलचाल की भाषा में चूरन भी कहा जाता है )is generally composed of ground spices, dried mangoes, limes etc. and it is used for improving digestion. Hence, it could be suitable in this context.चूर्ण का उपयोग आमतौर पर पाचन क्रिया या हाजमे को दुरूस्त करने के लिए किया जाता है, इसलिए सम्भवतः DIGESTIVE POWDER एक सटीक और उपयुक्त विकल्प होगा।
