Mango curry with green Mangoes is a popular dish from Angamaly region in Kerala. It is a classic dish with incredible taste and unique flavours. If you have ever attended a wedding in Angamaly region, you will know what I am talking about! The wedding eve menu is considered incomplete without this Raw Mango curry. Green Mangoes are cooked in a delicious, creamy coconut milk curry with a unique blend of spices and herbs. What makes this Mango curry irresistibly delicious is the precooking preparation. This recipe is adapted from my darling sister Beenchi’s Fish curry with Mangoes. Will Post that recipe soon.
For pre wedding celebrations at Christian homes, this Mango curry is prepared with Fish, which is another mouthwatering delicacy. You can also add Prawns in this Mango curry and have with rice and vegetable. Fish/ Prawns and Mango is a great combo like my ayala mango curry or unakkachemmeen nanga thoranAngamaly is also famous for pork currythe wedding eve menu at Christian homes has a delectable variety of Pork dishes like pork fry, chilly pork etc.
