Guest guest Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Thanks so much for the recipe. I cannot readily find amchur powder here, but I shall substitute a little lemon juice for the required sourness. It won't quite be the same, but hey I'm dying to try this dish. I have placed it in our Files under 'Fruit Vegetables' (crazy name for all those things, but you know what I mean). Best, Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
