  1. seriously this has to be in the Goan dished

    1. Yes Vanessa 🙂

  2. Thanks Xanti for the recipe. Can you please let me know what is the shelf life? Is it ok to keep on the counter top or should I put in the fridge?

    Thanks again!

    1. Hi reena

      Best would be to refrigerate it , as sometimes it catches a moss like texture on top floating over the water. It can last upto 6 months in the fridge.

  3. Can we use baby mangoes instead of large raw mangoes?

    1. Hello Streisan
      Usually these are done with large mangoes..
      Yes, you can try slicing the small raw mangoes.

  4. Hi I love this. Actually I was dreaming this afternoon nd woke up finding nothing. To nite I will prepare this before I go to bed.

  6. Hi there Xanti Hood Morning !!! I’m going to prepare this but I don’t have white vinegar can I substitute with Goan vinegar??

  14. Hi Xanti… i tried the mango sliced water pickle (korom). After a week it has formed white froth like bubbles on the top. Could you tell me if its normal or if theres something wrong with it

    Would appreciate your expert advice

    Thanks

    1. Hi falcon
      Yes sometimes it forms a white layer on top .
      (I’m not so expert in this area 😬) I don’t know the exact reason for this . (I’m guessing coz of the salt content … not so sure )

  15. Hi Xanti, my grandma used to make this pickle when we were children and I now wish to try it out. Can you help which type of mango to buy for this pickle?

    1. Hi marcie
      I usually use the long mangoes (bottle mangoes or also known as tota puri )
