Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3 ripe, sweet mangoes
  • 1 cup full fat coconut milk ((If you're using fresh coconut milk, use two cups of the first extraction and skip adding any water.))
  • 2 dry red chili peppers ((like arbol or Kashmiri chillies))
  • 1 1/2 tsp mustard seeds
  • 1 tsp vegetable oil
  • ¼ tsp asafetida ((hing, optional))
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric
  • 1 sprig curry leaves
  • 2 tsp sugar ((grated jaggery is a more authentic ingredient here-- use it instead of sugar if you have it))

Instruction

  • Grind together the coconut milk, 1/2 cup of the mango flesh, chillies and 1/2 tsp mustard seeds. Set aside.
  • Heat the oil and add the remaining mustard seeds. When they sputter, add the curry leaves, turmeric and asafetida, if using.
  • Add the mangoes and the ground coconut milk paste. Add a cup of water and stir the jaggery or sugar. Add salt to taste.
  • Heat through until the coconut milk barely simmers. Turn off the heat and serve hot or warm with rice.
