Hi everyone

 

Someone gave me a fresh coconut from their tree.Before

it goes to waste I was wondering if anyone had a

simple recipe to make out of it.

Mango Curry – Manga Kalan

 

Mango curries are a Kerala treat. This one may be

served with all Indian meals. I serve it in individual

bowls, to be eaten with a teaspoon.

 

Ingredients

3 medium-sized ripe mangoes, peeled, pit removed and

flesh cut into 1cm/ 1/2 inch pieces

1 tsp ground turmeric

1 tsp cayenne pepper

1 tsp salt

50g/2oz jaggery or brown sugar, if needed

300g(11oz)(2-3/4 cups) freshly grated coconut

3 fresh hot green chillies, coarsely chopped

1/2 tbsp cumin seeds

300ml/10floz/1 1/4 cups plain soya yoghurt lightly

beaten

2 tablespoons coconut oil or any other vegetable oil

1/4 tsp brown mustard seeds

4 dried hot red chillies broken into halves

1/4 tsp fenugreek seeds

10-12 fresh curry leaves, if available

 

Method

Put the mangos in a medium-sized pan. Add 250ml/8fl

oz/1 cup water.

Cover and stew for 8-10 minutes over medium-low heat.

Stir occasionally. Add the turmeric, cayenne pepper

and salt. Stir well. (if the mangoes are not sweet

enough, add the jaggery or brown sugar to make the

dish sweeter).

 

Meanwhile, put the coconut, green chillies and cumin

seeds into the container of an electric blender. Add

250ml/8fl oz/ 1 cup water and blend to a fine paste.

 

When the mangoes are cooked, mash them to a pulp. Add

the coconut paste. Mix. Cover and simmer over medium

heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture becomes

thick.

 

This should take about 10-15 minutes. Add the soya

yoghurt and heat, stirring, until just warmed through.

Do not let the mixture come to the boil. Remove from

the heat and put to one side. Check for salt.

 

Heat the oil in a small pan over medium-high heat.

When hot, add the mustard seeds. When the mustard

seeds being to pop, a matter of a few seconds, add the

chillies, fenugreek seeds and the curry leaves. Stir

and fry for a few seconds until the chillies darken.

Quickly add the contents of the small pan to the

mangoes. Stir to mix.
