50 g1 medium lemon (about 50 g)

Indian medium lemon is about 50 g; USDA medium lemon is ~58 g.

Instead of Lemon

Lime
Use the same weight or juice amount; sharper, so taste before adding all the juice.
Lemon juice
Use about 45–50 ml for 1 lemon; add off the heat to keep the freshness.
Dried mango powder
Use 1 tsp for the juice of 1 lemon; add early. Sourness is flatter and less fresh.
