May be a blog on that some other day. <BR/>One of them is, granny used to salt unripe mangoes in an earthen pot. If mangoes fell before being ripe they would find their way into these pots. <BR/>She used to use these mangoes after they are salted to make a particular dish. I dont know what it is called.

Remember how they needed to be put in earthen pots (Mannina Madake)... You cannot put them in steel or plastic utensils since the salt would corrode them. Much stronger (in taste) they were. <BR/>Same here... It's been ages since I've eaten the fruit.Kithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12853142613861821718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914127012041679065.post-88373881307939228332008-07-10T13:04:00.000+05:302008-07-10T13:04:00.000+05:30ya I remember parpale gudde.

It's called Parpale Gudde. I don't if you've noticed, but there's a church on top of this hill. We used to go to this church on Sundays when I was visiting my grandparents in Karkal.<BR/>Outside the church, scattered all over the hill are cashew trees. After the church service got over, I used to roam around the hill Kithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12853142613861821718noreply@blogger.com
