Hi Manjula Aunti, is there any substitute for citric acid, because I don't have them? Or, can I cook without using citric acid? Thank you.

[Manjulaskitchen]

@Susmagiri you can cook then without citric acid or use few drops of lemon.

hi, i live far from any indian shops and i cant find the fenugreek leaves (methi) anywhere? can i use methi seeds instead or is there any other substitute to methi?

thanks.

@yunsaj

Do without fenugreek leaves still it will taste grate.

I love your muthia recipe. My housemate is allergic to gluten, and I was wondering if I could substitute rice flour or moong flour for the whole wheat flour. What would you reccomend?

[Manjulaskitchen]

@SpacelordGrakthnor

do not add wheat flour it will be ok

[dipalee86]

i always made wrong by taking more wheat flour and less besan......so they were very hard instead of soft ones......let me try this one.
