Tips & Secrets
- Oiling your hands and tools is the absolute secret to managing the sticky interior sap of the gunda.
- Using grated raw mango in the stuffing provides the essential tartness and helps in rapid maturation.
- Mustard oil is mandatory; its pungent flavor perfectly balances the unique taste of the glue berries.
- Ensure all stones are removed carefully; whole stones can ruin the mouthfeel of the pickle.
