Mango Curry

This recipe is from Kerala, one of my friend made this curry for dinner party. First time I ate this curry at my friend house. I loved this dish from that moment I wanted to try this amazing recipe, so finally I made it. It came out very good , I am sure you will try this yummy recipe. It is so simple & easy to make.  The combination of flavors in this dish are mind blowing – it’s sweet from the Mango, sourness from the Yogurt and the spice kick from the Chilies.

Ingredients:

• Ripe Mango – 1 , peeled, cubed
• Green Chillies – to taste
• Shredded Coconut – 1/2 cup
• Cumin Seeds – 1/2 tsp
• Sour Yogurt – 1/2 cup
• Water – 1/2 cup
• Salt – 1/2 tsp or to taste
•  Oil – 1 tsp
• Mustard Seeds – 1/2 tsp
• Dry Red Chillies – to taste
• Curry Leaves – few leaves
• Turmeric Powder – 1/4 tsp
• Fenugreek / Methi Seeds - 1/4 tsp

Method:

•  Wash, peel and cube the Mango.
• Soak and work the seed of the Mango in Water till clean.
•  Gently mash the Mango and transfer Mango and the liquid to a saucepan.
•  Bring to a boil on medium heat, cook for 2-3 minutes and then reduce flame to a simmer.
•  Meanwhile, grind Green Chillies, Coconut, Cumin Seeds and a little bit of Yogurt, to a smooth paste.
•  Add the mixture to the balance of the Yogurt and mix well.
•  Take the pan off the flame and add in the Yogurt/Coconut paste to the Mango.
•  It is important to constant stir while adding the paste. Also, add a little at a time. This will prevent the Yogurt from curdling.
•  Once mixed in, the saucepan goes back on the flame on a low flame and allow it to come to almost a boil, keep stirring constantly for 4-5 min.
•  For the seasoning, heat Coconut Oil or any oil in a skillet.

•  Add in the Dry Red Chili, the Curry Leaves and the Turmeric Powder.
•  Mix into the Mango Curry and mix. 
•  serve hot with Rice.
• Enjoy this mouth watering dish :)

Note: Instead of mango can try Pineapple or pumpkin. But I think mango is the best :)
