Ripe Mango Curry / Pazha Manga Curry..... step-by-step.


When Homey got some "nadan" or "nattu"mangoes, I saved some to make this traditional curry. I learned this to make from my neighbor, Sulu Chechy from Trichur (we lived in Trichur for around 3 years). Ever since this has been my favorite bookmarked recipe.

This curry is made with ripe local variety mango aka "nadan manga".


* This is a standard recipe for 2 mangoes.....increase ingredients if making with more than 2 mangoes accordingly.
Ingredients:
Mangoes: 2.
Jaggery: 1 small piece.
Red chilly powder: 1 tsp (I used Kashmiri Chilly Powder).
Turmeric powder: 1/4 tsp.
Water: 1/2 cup.
Salt. As needed.

To grind:
Coconut grated: 1/2 cup.
Green chilies: 2.
Cumin seeds: A fat pinch.
Shallots: 3.
Turmeric powder: 1/4 tsp.

To mix into the curry.
Curd: 1/2 cup, beaten.

For seasoning:
Mustard seeds: 1/2 tsp.
Fenugreek seeds: 1/4 tsp.
Red chilly crushed: 1/2 tsp.
Fresh curry leaves: 2 sprigs.
Coconut oil: 1 tbsp.
Method:
1. I used the local variety mangoes which is a must to make this curry.

2. Peel of the skin of the mangoes with ur fingers.

3. All the peeled ones sitting pretty....and waiting!!!

4. Pour 1/2 cup water, 1 tsp red chilly powder, 1/4 tsp turmeric powder, 1 small piece jaggery, and salt into a deep bottom vessel and cook. Once it starts boiling reduce the flame and let it simmer for 5 to10 min.

5. In the meantime, in a chutney bowl , put in 1/2 cup coconut, 2 green chilies, a fat pinch of cumin seeds, 1/4 tsp of turmeric powder, and 3 shallots.

6. Grind it finely with little water to make into a paste.

7. Now pour this over the simmering hot mango curry.

8. Mix well for a min or two.....remember low flame is the rule here!!

9. Add the beaten curd to this and mix well.....over heating may result in curdling of the curd. So stir very well on low flame.

10. Get the spices ready for seasoning.

11. Heat a tadka pan with 1 tbsp of coconut oil, add the mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds, crushed chillies, and curry leaves.

12. Pour it over the curry, immediately switch off the fire and close with a lid....this way the aroma of the spices stays in the curry.

Pazha Manga Curry is Ready!!


Serve hot with Rice!!!

  16. This looks really interesting! I have never seen those kinds of mangos before. Do you think it would be possible to use other varieties? Say for example, the large ones but cut them into large chunks?

  17. @souleating, Hi thank you for visiting my space..about ur query, this variety of mangoes are the ones that are sweet and a bit sour/sweet towards the seed...and is available in this season here...I guess if u can get sweet/sour variety of mangoes u can cut into large chunks and make them....but I cannot guarantee you the real taste...but I guess you can get almost there :).

Pidiyum Kozhiyum Recipe - How To Make Kerala Style Kozhi Pidi - Kerala Recipes

Pidiyum kozhiyum or kottayam style pidi is a traditional knanaya cuisine ; these rice dumpling have a thick gravy like sauce, unlike the dry versions of Malabar kakka roti or kozhi pidi. Knanaya style pidi is served with varutharacha kozhi curry. Traditionally, pidi is associated with baby shower ie when the daughter-in-law is sent to her parents house for delivery, it is customary for the mother-in-law to make kozhi pidi and we knanaya people still follow these traditions. My main aim is to preserve this recipe; so that the future generations can enjoy this wholesome dish. Pidi is rice dumplings which is simmered in water along with shallots, garlic, curry leaves, and coriander seeds; but I have used coriander powder instead to make the whole process easy. Amma mentioned that if using coriander seeds then; the water used to mix the rice flour should be sieved and that using fresh roasted coriander powder saves time. I have made a video recipe and I hope this you help
