Hi Minal,
Am making this today. Noticed that the recipe doesn’t use Lemon juice but it’s included in the ingredients. What stage does that go in?

Hi Manik,
The lemon juice has to be added only in the end of the recipe after the cooking process stops. Also note that mostly lemon juice should be used only in the end of the recipe since cooking the lemon juice as an ingredient will lose all its nutrition as well as taste.
Regards,
Minal
