Wild melon powder

Kachri

2.5 g1 teaspoon

8 g1 tablespoon

Dried kachri powder behaves like a typical ground spice at about 2.5 g/tsp.

Amchoor is the nearest souring agent but lacks kachri's faint fruity note.

• 
  Dried mango powder

  Use 70-80% of the weight, taste and adjust. Similar dry tang but lacks kachri's faint fruity note.

• 
  Tamarind powder

  Use 50-70% of the weight, dissolve in a little water first. Darker and more sour; reduce other tamarind.

• 
  Lemon juice

  Use about 10 ml for every 2 g kachri powder, added near the end. Fresher tang and extra liquid.
