Priya Cut Mango Pickle is raw mango cut into small pieces and pickled in oil with chilli and mustard, made without garlic. The pieces stay firm and keep a clean sour bite, which makes it the straightforward everyday mango pickle rather than a special-occasion one.

Best for

• Hot rice with ghee or sesame oil
• Curd rice and dal rice
• Chapati, paratha and dosa

Serving

Serve two or three pieces with a little of the oil at the side of the plate. Use a dry spoon every time and press the pieces back under the oil before putting the jar away, as fruit left above the oil line spoils ahead of the rest. If the oil has set solid in a cold kitchen, stand the jar out for an hour rather than warming it on the stove.

Pack and storage

300g jar. Store in a cool, dry place, sealed after opening.

Priya Tamarind Paste is concentrated tamarind ready to use straight from the jar, with no soaking, squeezing or straining of pulp. It is plain sour, with no spices added, so it goes into anything that calls for tamarind without changing the rest of the seasoning.

Best for

• Sambar, rasam and vatha kuzhambu
• Chutneys, sauces and chaat
• Tamarind rice and fish curries

Using it

Start with half a teaspoon dissolved in a little warm water for a pot of sambar or rasam for four, and adjust at the end once the dal is in, since tamarind reads stronger in a thin liquid than a thick one. Give it a few minutes of cooking; uncooked tamarind tastes flat and slightly harsh. For chutneys and sauces use it undiluted, a quarter-teaspoon at a time.

Pack and storage

300g jar. Store in a cool, dry place; keep sealed and refrigerated after opening.
