South Indies: Uddamethi/Raw Mango Curry
Monday, June 06, 2011I regret not having as many mango based recipes as I'd love to. And, now that the mango season is here, its never too late.
What I have for you today is a Raw mango curry from the Konkan region of Karnataka, I haven't made many konkani recipes, but it does have some unique recipes like this one .. I got this recipe from a beautiful blog, which is now abandoned, but I always peek into this space now & then ..
You Will Need:
- 1 unripe Mango
- A small lump of Jaggery
- Salt as per taste
- Fresh coriander for garnish
- 4- 5 dry red chillies
- 1 tsp coriander seeds
- 1 tsp Urad dal
- 1 tsp Fenugreek seeds
- 1/4 cup fresh grated coconut
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tsp mustard seeds
- A generous pinch of Hing
- A few curry leaves
- 2 tsp oil
- Peel & dice mangoes into small cubes a set aside
- In a pan, heat a tsp oil & roast dry red chillies, coriander seeds, urad dal, fenugreek seeds until aromatic & allow it to cool. Grind this along with fresh coconut & turmeric, into a smooth paste using little water.
- In a heavy bottomed pan, heat oil, splutter mustard seeds, add hing & curry leaves. To this, add mango pieces & saute for a minute. Add some water, salt & jaggery & allow it to simmer until the mango pieces are fully cooked. Once done, add the coconut paste & mix well. Simmer for about 5-8 mins on low flame.
- Check for salt & garnish with some chopped coriander
Serve HOT with steamed rice .. Enjoi !!!
