Nimbu ya Chaat Masala
50 g1 one small lemon (about 50 g); chaat masala alternative is a pinch
Piece interpreted as one small Indian lemon about 50 g; chaat masala alternative is not countable as a piece.
Instead of Lemon or chaat masala powder
Chaat masalaUse the same weight when the recipe allows chaat masala; it adds tang and a salty-spicy note.
Lemon juiceFor 5 g chaat masala powder use about 15 ml lemon juice; add at the end so the freshness stays.
Dried mango powderUse 3 g amchoor for 5 g chaat masala; it gives sourness but not the full salty-spicy chaat flavour.
