Dried cockscomb flowers

Mawal

Weighed in g; dried Kashmiri flower spice.

Instead of Dried cockscomb flowers

Nothing truly replaces mawal's floral colour and slight sourness; rose petals give only part of the aroma.

Dried rose petals
Use about half the weight, crushed. Gives a floral note but not mawal's colour or slight sourness.
Kashmiri red chilli powder
Use about a quarter of the weight for colour. Adds mild heat and no floral note; add gradually.
Ground mace
Use a small pinch, well under the recipe weight. Warm aromatic note only; not a true match.
