Instead of Buchanania nut
Chironji's nutty-bitter taste has no exact match; almond is closest.
AlmondUse the same weight, soak and peel for a closer texture; slightly sweeter.
Cashew nutUse the same weight, soak 20 minutes; softer and creamier when ground.
PistachioUse the same weight, blanch and peel; stronger and greener in flavour.
