Citric acid gives clean sharp sourness without flavour; lemon is closest but adds aroma.
Lemon juiceUse 15-20 g lemon juice for 1 g citric acid; add off the heat and taste, as it also adds aroma.
Lime juiceUse 15-20 g lime juice for 1 g citric acid; sharper and more aromatic.
Dried mango powderUse about 2 g amchoor for 1 g citric acid; stir in early and taste, as it is less sharply sour.
