   2 questions –
   1) I bought dry kasuri methi from Indian stores but it seems to have sand in it! Any idea how it can be cleaned?

   2) When are the mangoes a bit cheaper in the US?

   Thanks

   Hi R,

   Wow! You should go return the methi to the store…that is unacceptable! But, if you want, you could take a sieve and try to shake out the sand (though there is no guarantee that you’ll get all of it out). In the US, Mexican mangoes are most common and they are in season from March through September. However, they reach peak flavor towards the end of the season.

   my suggestion is to soak kasuri methi in water for couple of minutes. (The sand will stay at bottom Hope it will help. I always soak before using it.

   Hi,
   Nice recipe. Will try your method soon. Just thought that i would share my version too:
   1 raw mango,2tsp red chilli powder (or to taste), 1/2 tsp hing,salt to taste, 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
   For tempering: 2 tbsps oil( sesame oil),2 tsps mustard seeds

   1) Peel & chop the mango into 1/2 inch pieces.
   2) Mix the mango,salt,red chilli powder,turmeric powder & hing.
   3) Heat oil,add in the mustard seeds. when they splutter add it to the mango mixture & mix well.
   4) Serves 4
   Note: This pickle will keep for a couple of days if refrigerated.

   Enjoy!

   One of my friend uses dry roasted methi powder, powdered mustard seeds and jaggery with chopped raw mangoes. It tastes GREAT! It cannot be stored for long. May be upto a week or two in the refrigerator is fine.

    Hi Dipti,

    You can keep it in the fridge for about 2 weeks…longer if you add more oil.

    I have a question about the pickle
    Recently i bought a mixed pickle (brand name,Laziza)from the internet( i am not living in India)
    I couldn’t find the Multi paste so I bought this mixed pickle
    Are they the same thing? In the recipe i saw, they said to put the multipaste but would it be okay if i put mixed pickle?
    Thank you
    Am always enjoying watching your recipes!

    Hi Hyun,

    Mixed Pickle and Pickle Masala or paste are two different things. The pickle you bought is a ready to eat pickle. Pickle Masala or paste is a mixture used to make pickle at home.
