I have to vote for coffee here, I'm surprised there are so many other people here who don't drink coffee I also dont like Papaya, it's just something about the smell which doesn't allow me to put it anywhere near my mouth

Since I saw this thread I've been waiting to try and make some but we've been having a new kitchen built The builders are doing the last few things today so I'm planning on making it as part of my birthday dinner tomorrow

My favourite is salmon marinated in lemon juice, garlic, chilli powder and a lil salt which is then quickly fried until crispy on the outside but still gorgeous and juicy on the inside. Mmm I love pink things

The root I'm talking about about must be zedoary i'm sure it isn't mango haldi as it doesnt have any mango taste. Here we get fresh tumeric and what appears to be zedoary in some local Indian shops, maybe I should get some and show you all what it looks like

My family is from Gujarat so we're lucky to have pickles sent to us when our jars are getting empty I find shop bought ones here in england rarely seem to match up to the ones we get sent. The green mango pickles mixed with methi seeds and chilli are my favourite along with lemon pickles which seem to complement any dish you eat them with. There is also another type we get with a tumeric type root, but it is white and crunchy and has quite a different flavour, reminds me more of radishes, that also tastes great in pickles but I don't know what its called in english, in gujarati it is called 'Amba Aradh'.
