  2. Dhania is coriander seeds and Amchur Powder is also referred to as "mango" powder. Unripe green mangoes can be dried and then ground in order to make this. Substitutions for the amchur powder are lime juice or tamarind pulp where the addition of a wet ingredient will not change the consistency of the dish.

    I believe you can get coriander seeds at the little store... if not let me know and I can bring it for you the next time I come.
