This Low Sodium version of Phool Makhana Curry achieves its drastic sodium reduction by completely removing added salt. To compensate for the flavor loss, the recipe intensifies other taste elements: aromatics like onion and ginger-garlic are increased, and layers of tanginess are added through amchur (dried mango powder) and a final squeeze of fresh lemon juice. This ensures a vibrant, satisfying curry that meets strict sodium guidelines.
