Lime

Nimbu

50 g1 medium lime (about 50 g)

Indian medium lime ~50 g; USDA lime ~67 g.

Instead of Lime

Lemon
Use the same weight; sharper and less floral, so reduce any extra souring slightly.
Lemon juice
Use about 30 g juice per lime (2 tbsp), strain pips; add at the end for fresh sourness.
Dried mango powder
Use 1 g amchoor for about 15 g lime juice; add early with spices; gives dry mango sourness, not citrus aroma.
