Mango pickle is deliciously pungent. Yes chilly is also chili here, though spelt both ways here. As for fenugreek and asafoetida, they are used widely in Indian foods. Makes Indian dishes unique.

And mango flesh IS white. When they're absolutely raw it's white and terribly sour. If you want to eat it raw, most often you have to with salt. When it's beginning to ripen it turns cream to pale yellow and then finally to a bright orange/yellow, and it sweetens also.

Mango, coconut, jackfruit, breadfruit, papaya and plantains/bananas are our staple fruits. So I could describe them better if needed.
