The orginally recipe may use citric acid to give that slight sourness, I skipped that alone. But as an alternate you can use 1/4 tsp amchur or chat masala powder.

If you don’t have kasmiri red chilli powder you can use regular chilli powder but add 3/4 tbsp as it might turn out very spicy.

EXPERT TIPS

I have used kashmiri red chilli powder for bright color you can use normal chilli powder but reduce it as it will be very spicy.

I didn’t have citric acid but its used to give a sour taste so if you have add 1/4 tsp and crush it along with crushed items.Add 1/4 tsp amchur /chat masala powder for more salty taste as that of citric acid.

If you are using onion powder you can add it directly.I used onion flakes so crushed it.

You can taste it and adjust according to your liking too.

The color of the spicemix depends on the chilli powder color.I used homemade kashmiri chilli powder.
