Anyone for mangoes?

The colour and state of that mango looks nothing like mine after "seasoning". It looks to me like it's been freshly cut.

I shall drain mine tomorrow and have a look.

I look forward to the result.

I've dried fried the seeds:

Dry frying cumin, fennugreek and black onion seeds.

The aroma was wonderful!

And fried the dried chilies in a little olive oil:

But I'm not keen on the result for adding to the spice grinder.

Fried dried chilies.

I'll leave it until tomorrow and if I'm not happy I shall use chili powder.

You could chop up the chillies a bit before adding to the grinder.

My concern is the residue oil. It is likely to cause the result to become a paste rather than a powder.

I see your point but a paste will work fine in the pickle, I'd think.

I've allowed the mango pieces (and the fried chilies) to dry out a little.

The "powder" didn't turn out too bad.

That looks lovely.

Looks good - do you like how it tastes, though?

I've only tried a couple of pieces. I'll try some with poppadums or crisps tomorrow.

 

[Yorky]

Tried some pickle with potato crisps. Very spicy and sour. Not sure whether I'll make a habit of it.
