Goan Miskut | Stuffed Raw Mango Pickle | Jar of Memories Ep 03

Episode 03 of ‘Jar of Memories’ brings you the Stuffed Raw Mango Pickle, also called Miskut by many. It is a common occurrence in a Goan household because it is a significant part of every home's 'purument' planning ('purument' refers to the pre-monsoon preservations). The whole raw mango is cut and pickled in Sea Salt (with its seed removed) for a couple of days, and then stuffed with a strong-flavoured blend of spices, and then immersed in brine topped with oil. It is a well known fact that the sap enhances the resulting taste, which is why the stalks are usually left intact. Stored in ceramic jars in a store-room, this miskut will sing songs and tell tales of how kids (from time immemorial) awaited quiet afternoons to steal a sour-spicy bite!
‘Jar of Memories’ is a short series of recipe-videos to take the lid off and bring alive some precious Goan 'bottled' delicacies that have, and will always, stand the test of time. Thanks to the excitement you've shown and the many suggestions I've received for Balchao, Episode 04 will be uploaded this coming Friday! And the Mackerel Parra will also come soon :) Subscribe so that you don't miss it, when it does ;) Viva Goa!

Do not discard the soft seeds. It's a wonderful medicine for diabetics. Powder the seed after drying them in the sun. One teaspoon morning and night with a few sips of water.

Wow I was happy to view this receipe. My mother in law used to prepare this every year and it was just superb. When she passed away, I felt sorry I did not take the receipe from her. This is, I think exactly how she used to make it. Many, many thanks. Will try it in the next mango season

[@makayladsilva9936]

[@peacedsouza]

Thanks for your mouthwatering recipe. For the brine do we boil the water first, take it off the flame and then mix in the salt or do we put both the water and salt to boil together on the gas?

[@brendadias8474]

That water is good, just boil it and cool,and add the powder spices to the water and stuff the mango

[@justinafernandes8698]

Wow looks so delicious 😊 Tks for this receipe

[@FlorencyDias]

Thank you sooo much, Cynthia :)💫

[@peacedsouza]

I remember our Hindu neighbour bringing a big jar of Miskut for us everytime we went to Goa for our summer holidays as kids. However, she would not stuff the mangoes. She used to cut them into pieces and use the Miskut masala. The pieces were nice and crunchy and so full of taste. Please share how this can be done ... I think it will be much faster than stuffing the mangoes... Thanks

[@janicedcunha9092]

Good morning Florency, Nostalgic recipe with plenty of sentiments attached to it. My dear mother would prepare mango pickles of different varieties exactly the way you are demonstrating yours. Music, of course, with soothing strumming to whistle along as I watch with keen interest. Let it happen soon that we can at least taste the yummylicious pickle as we imbibe the juices. Excellent editing and strumming. 🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒🍓🍑🍍 A few fruits to place my appreciation on record.

[@FlorencyDias]

Hello, Janice! This recipe certainly digs up memories from the good times of the past :) With the restrictions back in place, the best I can do is send you a glimpse of our ‘purument’ through this channel! I gratefully accept your appreciation for the videos we put up, thank you so much💐❤️💕

[@ritam2697]

Wow...my grandmother would make this....👍👍👌

[@FlorencyDias]

This does bring back many memories, Rita, thanks for sharing yours :) I also remembered how my mother would let us, as children, observe as she carefully prepared this pickle. We've come a long way since✨

[@dancingqueen_123]

I have a request to make. Since your recipes are so wonderful i would request you to put a video for making goan sausage masala (Choris)

[@padminikadle4957]

Where is this stone yor pounding available ?

[@neilrodrigues623]

Fantastic as always.. Keep it up.

[@FlorencyDias]

Thank you very much, Neil✨ Hope you are well :)

[@JA-kh2yi]

Slurrrp, slurrrpppp, still slurping! Ooops! Slurrrp again! :)

[@FlorencyDias]

Hahahaha! There will always be enough for you to slurrrp on, Joyce :) You just made this space a happier one, thank you💫

[@aslammasthan84]

🤤🤤 the thought of raw mango itself makes one drool. Hmm...this is something new....but getting the right kairi got to wait...still don't see them in market yet ☹

[@FlorencyDias]

This is one of the most traditional pickles in Goa✨ And you're correct, Aslam. You must find the right kairi! I once bought the small raw mangoes with the hard seed, unknowingly; I have learned from my mistakes 😂 Make sure you ask the seller to cut one up to confirm.

[@aslammasthan84]

@@FlorencyDias 👍👍

[@philipwsamuel]

Mouth watering

[@FlorencyDias]

Thank you, Philip ✨ Hope you are well :)

[@eugeniasardinha1137]

My mother-in-law would be so proud of you...

[@FlorencyDias]

This certainly is no ordinary compliment, Eugenia. I'm humbled, thank you💫

[@thelmadias8330]

Just happened to see the recipe i had asked for......'Miskut'! So happy to see that it's already there. I have no time to watch or try out other recipes. I'm so addicted to your channel, Florençy ! Thank you 💖💖 so so much ❤️😘

[@kawaiiV75]

Are you indian ?

[@pameladsouza9648]

Wat will happen if u put in a plastic jar

[@swayamagarwal439]

What is brian water

[@FlorencyDias]

Hello, Swayam :) Brine is a solution of water and a high amount of salt. This helps preserve the pickled fruit for long and makes them tender over time. Hope this helps💫

[@swayamagarwal439]

Thank yu so much for explianing so nicely.😘

[@lancyluis9530]

Remember Mai making a big jar which would last for the whole of rainy season .sometimes.until the next mangoes season.

[@Samudbhava]

Remember not to use iodised salt. but also not shindhav/sindhalu/rock salt/black salt. it has to be sea salt but not iodised.

[@sadieazavedo604]

Hi Florence, thank you for this lovely green mango miskut. I knew that one day I Will😅😊 go back for your recipe..
