Panyan pickle reconstructed.
May 27, 2013
*PLEASE NOTE - this is an old blog post from 2013 - we no longer sell PanYan Pickle - thank you!*
It may be a little later than I anticipated but I have attempted to replicate panyan pickle based on the ingredients listed on the original jar. A couple of ingredients have changed, I used cornflour rather than potato starch to thicken the pickle and I suspect I am using a better quality vinegar than the original but, it is done and will soon be for sale in the online shop. This week!
I have based the spicing on all your memories using tamarind, ginger, curry spices etc I need to know if I have got it right.
I do need more feedback, a jar was sent to a panyan pickle lover who says she has tried all panyan pickles on the market. She responded by buying 6 jars and emailed how much she loved it but said her memory wasn't sharp enough to give true analysis.
To this end the first 10 people who order the pickle online will have the cost of the jar refunded if they are prepared to give me feedback, good or bad, just put the word 'feedback' in the' instructions to seller' and I will refund the purchase. Unfortunately the postage will still need to be paid and this is £6.00. Only one free jar per purchaser but of course you can buy anything you want to dilute the postage costs.
Alternatively email me and I can invoice you I am useless at technology.

When will the latest batch of pan tan be ready to purchase kind regards
where in Cardiff can I buy pan yan pickle please, or must I order by post
I used to be a Pan Yan pickle lover and was very annoyed and upset when it disappeared. I must say that it used to look nothing like your product, being a much more even dark brown colour with no lumps bigger than about 1/4" cubed. One of the ingredients was listed as ‘Rutabaga’, and no-one in the house knew what this was, so I had to look it up to find that it is yellow swede. ‘Caramel’ was also listed. In my version I use Dark Soy Sauce as a substitute for the Caramel as it adds both colour and taste. My latest attempt is getting close to how I remember it, but not quite right yet. I’ll add some more Madras curry powder to the next batch. Latest batch was made Jan 9th 2017, so ‘maturing’ now before bottling !
