Thinking of what to do with it?

Vegetarians: Add Salt and a bit of Sugar to stuff into Lady Fingers or Bitter Gourd. Fry until golden brown

Fish Lovers: Use it as a base masala to make your fish ambotik curry. Or simply add Sugar, Salt and Goan Toddy Vinegar and stuff it in Pomfrets and Mackerels and fry.

Meat Lovers: Add loads of Goan Toddy Vinegar and make some Pork Sorpotel. Who doesn't love it?

This recipe has been handed down to me from my Mum who learnt it from her Mum. Hence, it's really special!
