This pack contains the whole fruit pulp, preserved in its own moisture and including the seeds. For many British Asian cooks, this is the only way to achieve the true \"Shahi\" depth of flavour, as the seeds and surrounding fibres contribute a richer, more complex acidity than processed versions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"3,0,0\"\u003eThe Secret to Traditional Extraction:\u003c\/b\u003e To get the most out of this 400g block, soak a portion in hot water for at least 20 minutes.
