I've already make koora with onions, pappu and pachchadi. I've even used semi ripe ones in kurmas etc and also with sprouted massor dal. Any more novel ideas? Let me know. I am all out of ideas now. : ( Indira,

India is a great country, and I am happy that you have relations there and spent some time exploring the scents and cuisines. This recipe actually tastes very good with green, unripe mangoes. I also prepared mango aavakaaya yesterday. Marathi moggu is somewhat difficult to find, but can be found in shops that specializes in spices. There is a shop here in Houston which sells marathi moggu. Would you like me ship them for you? It would be my pleasure. Mamatha: Neem spray is store-bought and I bought it from a local nursery. I have also seen neem spray in Lowe's, Home Depot here. Best bet is amazon.com. Anu: Iodine reacts with aavakaaya seasoning and changes it to black instead of vibrant maroon color we usually associate with aavakaaya as pickle ages. Anita and Kay: this is an easy pickle recipe to prepare at home. Adjust salt from 2 tablespoons to quarter cup as per your taste when you try. Mine tasted little bit salty with quarter cup salt. Harini-Jaya: Hope you are having a marvelous mango time in India. Happy vacation! Hearty congratulations on your marriage, dear Victoria!

Off topic, in the comment section of an earlier post, you mentioned that you use neem spray to keep the bugs away. Do you make it at home or is it available in the store? If you make it at home, would you mind sharing how? Thanks much. I can almost imagine the taste of the tomato aavakaaya Indira.
