I recently got some bottled version of a brand in Calcutta and brought it with me. its not so tangy so my friend Ghosh said i have to put it out in sun and the more sun it soaks the more tangy it gets. can you tell me if i don't put any chilies will it still get tangy if i cure it in the sun, as traditionally people say chiles were not put in Kashundi and its tanginess came from the curing of the mustard seeds.Arvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13310176956570526544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-26092857490143320532013-09-19T07:28:00.420-04:002013-09-19T07:28:00.420-04:00can you please tell how we can make "bori&quo...can you please tell how we can make "bori" at home possiblyy in an oven. cant put them to dry out in the traditional way:(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-74371806001520933402013-06-26T15:35:34.607-04:002013-06-26T15:35:34.607-04:00Maybe for a day or two.
