oh I see ... the churan like ones, no I haven't seen those here. I get my 6-month fix for those whenever I am in India (Tasty in Dakshinapan, Kolkata, or, at Poush Mela, Shantiniketan).

arre arindam - have you had their jeera paani ? 
them gujjus + vidharba [maharashtra] + sometimes rajasthanis - gotta be the best on the churan front
next time you're in kolkata - there is this footpath vendor bang in front of the main gate of gariahat bajaar -
he has a HUGE array of hojmi and aachaar.
check out his booty - he lets you taste, before you buy!

Brishti,
I have had their 'jal jeera'. Their "aam pora shorbot" is darn good too. I know about that vendor in Gariahat, in fact, I bought most of my stock from him in 2008. Unfortunately, about 8 of of them were stale. So this year, I went back to Tasty.
tumi ki bangali?

Ooh my mouth is watering. None of those are available where I am right now. In Nepal there was a lot of a fantastically delicious dried fruit called lapsi. It comes plain (nice sweet-sour fruit) or spicy -- yum!
What about those spicy-salty-tamarind candies?

This is the Food Dryer I will be using once the green mango pieces have softened up in a glass jar after a few days in the sun.
I have covered the mango pieces with various Spices and salt.
Before I put the mango pieces in the Dryer I will cover them with additional spices such as Chaat Masala.
I also intend to try using some Ripe mango pieces in the dryer just to see how they turn out.

Avoid using chaat masala as it already contains dried mango powder in good amount, it will spoil the taste that comes from fresh mango

The Hot & Spicy Dried Mango I bought in Munnar(Kerala)was very dark in Colour,not far from being black or a very dark brown.
It sure was Hot & Spicy though.

vandy !!!! 
really going for 'em sixes, huh ? !!
the pungent + sour gets even more pronounced with the sugar.
another version which is as yummy is -
plain white salt + chilli powder + sugar + hing [asafoetida].
the aroma of the hing with the crunch of the raw mango is bliss.
usually make this - but with grated raw mangoes. bottle it. lasts forever and is a fantastic chutney.
[ you may not take to the aroma of 'hing'. but if you can deal with the 'smell' of black salt, methinks, hing should be ok ]
do keep us updated - especially about the ripe mangoes that you're treating
:brishti
ps.
jitu - FYI - your's was my firstest 'like' click

Thanks dear Brishti & Snonymous,
I will try and get some of that Black Salt.
Brishti, this hing stuff, is that what makes the Pani Puri water
STINK ?
Do I need to use much sugar ? Thinking of my Blood Sugar levels.
The ripe mango slivers that I put in the Food Dryer has turned out really nice.

this hing stuff, is that what makes the Pani Puri water STINK ? yes vandy - hing has a very strong distinctive aroma... if you can call it aroma.
but so does black salt... at least the black salt we get here.

half or less tea-spoon - depending on how much mango you have.in a jam bottle full of shredded mango - usually, less than half a teaspoon is fine.
pictures of the dried ripe mangoes please, vandy
