spice
Ground wild cucumber
Kachri
3 g1 teaspoon
9 g1 tablespoon
Ground dried kachri bulk density about 0.6 g/ml.
Instead of Ground wild cucumber
Amchoor gives the sourness but not kachri’s tenderising effect.
Wild melon powderUse the same weight; this is the same spice.
Dried wild melonGrind the same weight; it is the same, just freshly ground.
Dried mango powderUse about 70% of the weight; it gives similar sourness but lacks kachri’s tenderising effect.
