It was great to be able to buy this on Kandra Foods and not have to make a trip to an Indian grocery store. The product is average in its taste.
Kanooban –
The product was great, I got the Ginger Pickle. It was more Ginger than anything and very spicy. I used it to cook, I had to leave it over night for the flavours to subdue.
Sajai –
I really like the taste of this pickle. The problem is that it is very hot. Too much for me, though I am sure that many will enjoy it. The taste is great.
