Instead of Gooseberry
Star gooseberryUse the same weight; it is more sour and astringent, so taste and add sugar. Good for chutney or pickle.
Green appleUse the same weight, sliced; add a little lemon juice to sharpen. Softer and less astringent.
Raw mangoUse the same weight, grated; sharper sourness, so reduce any lemon or tamarind in the recipe.
