nut/seed

Buchanania nut kernel

Chironji

4 g1 teaspoon

12 g1 tablespoon

Small nut kernels, bulk density about 0.8 g/ml, giving about 4 g per level teaspoon.

Chironji's nutty-bitter taste has no exact match; almond is closest.

• 
  Blanched almond

  Use the same weight, soak 20 minutes and use whole or grind; slightly sweeter and less bitter.

• 
  Cashew nut

  Use the same weight, soak 20 minutes; creamier and milder than chironji.

• 
  Pistachio

  Use the same weight, blanch and peel; stronger in flavour, so use slightly less if you want subtlety.
