This water trick will do wonders

Before cutting raw mangoes, soak them in cold water for at least three to four hours. By doing this the heat or sticky mass inside the mango gets removed. Additionally, its peel and pulp become slightly softer, making the knife easier to handle. But keep in mind that after removing it from water, dry the mango thoroughly with a cotton cloth. Because if there is moisture in them then the pickle may get spoiled.

Choosing the right tool is important

For this, always use a chef’s knife with a heavy and wide blade because if you are cutting the curry with an ordinary and thin knife, then the effort will be double and the time will also be more. Place the mango on a chopping board and place the knife on the mango and apply strong downward pressure on the upper part of the knife with your palm. With this, even the hardest kernels will be cut in one go.

Adopt traditional cutter or sarota

If you are making five to ten kilos of pickle, then using the mango cutter or traditional mortar available in the market is the best option. This tool has a heavy blade and handle. As soon as the handle is pressed after placing the mango below it, it is ready to be cut into pieces of uniform size in seconds without applying any force. There is no fear of cutting hands due to this.

Smart way to remove lumps

If the mango stone has become very hard and cannot be cut from the middle, then instead of using force, adopt this smart method. First of all, separate large slices of pulp from all sides of the kernel with the help of a knife. After this, cut those slices into small pieces of your choice. By doing this, the effort of cutting kernels will be saved and your work will become very easy. But keep in mind that before cutting the raw mango, apply some mustard oil on your hands, so that the mango juice does not stick to the skin.
