Roselle
Gongura
Andhra leafy herb; weighed in g, no spoon/count conversion.
Instead of Roselle
Nothing matches gongura's tart, musky leafy flavour; sorrel leaves are the closest.
Sorrel leavesUse the same weight. Similar tartness; wilt quickly over low heat so they do not turn too soft.
SpinachUse the same weight and add amchoor or lemon juice, about 1 tsp amchoor per 200 g spinach, to mimic the sourness. Much less tart and musky.
Red amaranth leavesUse the same weight; add tamarind extract or lemon juice to taste. Gives leafy body but not gongura's sharp sour note.
