can u suggest a substitute for citric acid plsss.thank you.
Hi Rashmi,
Citric acid gives the tart flavor without the moisture and that is important for these cashews. You can try adding amchur powder – it won’t be the same but similar.
Happy Cooking ?
I think this recipe’s method needs a little bit of a re-read for it’s sensibility. ie add allspices to mortar? There is only one spice — red pepper. Cook cashews until turning golden? When did they get added?
Hi David,
Thanks for the heads up, it’s been fixed.
Happy Cooking!
