on Jun 25, 2021, Updated Nov 12, 2021 Mango season is officially coming to an end, but I object! This mango curry DESERVES more time in a calendar year! If you’re someone who’s into mixing sweet and savoury flavours together, you’re gonna love this south Indian recipe. And if you’re not that someone, just one bowl of this will change your mind! This is a simple meal – some fried chicken, steamed rice and bowls of this mango curry.
Use Small and Ripe Mangoes
Special mangoes for a special curry! This south Indian curry is made with ripe Sugar Baby mangoes or Shakkargutti. These are available almost towards the end of mango season, but they’re totally worth the wait. Bring loads because you’ll be making this again! Note: Want to take the experiment up a notch? I’ve successfully made this curry using pineapples or even apples – these fruits work so well with the same recipe!
Roasted Spices and OGG Paste
This mangalorean ripe mango curry gets a flavour punch from the blend of roasted spices and onion, ginger and garlic. Dry roasting releases the aromas of the spices and you’ll smell a sweet, nutty aroma wafting around in your kitchen. Grind these together into a smooth paste. When the sweet mangoes and juice are cooked in this spicy aromatic masala, you’ll have a sweet, spicy, tangy Mangalorean mango curry.
Richa’s Top Tips To Make Mango Curry
Choose the ripest mangoes that you can get your hands on because that’s where the natural sweetness comes from Put on your apron and pull up your sleeves for this one, because you’ll have to peel the mangoes and squeeze out all the juice from the skins and seed. This recipe has jaggery in it. You must do a taste test and balance the jaggery to match the tart flavour If Sugar Baby mangoes are hard to come by, you can use any small variety of mangoes – they should be super ripe and fleshy, of course. Use fresh spices that are aromatic. For the best masala, make sure the spices are not more than a year old Mangalorean food almost always has that distinct rich flavour of coconut oil. Tempering this dish with coconut oil really makes it addictive If you’re planning to go all out with this ripe mango curry, make it and keep aside for a day. The flavours really come together and it tastes phenomenal the next day!
