Namaste Manjula ji:)

I would like to know an substitute for Mango powder ( Amchur), can I use lemon juice instead ?

[Manjulaskitchen]

@reshuhk86

lemon juice will work fine.

[juzplain]

@Manjulaskitchen is tamarind a good substitute for Amchur?

[Manjulaskitchen]

@juzplain Tamarind is a good sustitute for amchoor for this recipe but not in every recipe.

Dear manjulaji, I got a pressure cooker from India since I was not very happy with the alternatives available in the US,,could you guide me with it - how many "seetis" or whistles of the pressure cooker before the daal is ready?
