Tips for methia keri. 1. The raw mango cubes in this recipe are unpeeled. 2. While the salt usually added is table salt and is as per taste, for this recipe we recommend adding the mentioned amount of sea salt only. 3. Ensure to squeeze excess water from keri by squeezing them in between your hands. This is necessary as the presence of moisture makes the pickle mushy and also decreases its shelf life. 4. While spreading the mango cubes on a muslin cloth remember to not overlap them. Keep distance between the keris cubes so they dry well. 5. The best way to dry the raw mango cubes quickly is to place the keri cubes on a muslin cloth in sunlight. 6. Most pickles are made with mustard oil and so this recipe also makes use of it. But if you do not like the taste of mustard oil, you can replace it with any other oil. 7. The mustard oil has to be heated till it smokes on a high flame and then cooled down completely to get the perfect flavour of the pickle. 8. Chilli powder can be adjusted as per your spice level. 9. Once the pickle is made, keep it at room temperature in a cool, dry place for 2 days and store in the refrigerator. This is for the keri to soak the flavours of the oil and masala well. 10. When you store the pickle in an air-tight container, some oil should float on top. This helps in preventing the pickle from spoilage. If you feel that there isn’t enough oil on top, heat some more and oil, cool it and add in the jar. 11. Always use a spoon to remove the pickle while serving. The warmth of the hands may be the cause of spoilage.
