Ripe Mango Curry 


Flavourful, super  delicious mango curry prepared  with juicy ripe  mangoes.  This  sweet & savoury curry has a unique taste which is a combination of sweet , tangy & spicy flavours. 

One bowl full of mango curry with steaming hot boiled rice! 

Wow! What a yummy combo!

How many of you love this combo?

Whenever  my  son comes down on vacation during mango season, he requests me to prepare this curry in the largest vessel and serve him everyday ( lol)

Ripe mangoes are cooked in a sweet and spicy gravy & served with steaming boiled rice.  This rice and mango curry combo was a most enjoyed meal during our childhood days.  I love it even today.  It tastes phenomenal the next day. 


Wild mangoes and Shakkargutli mangoes. 

(These photos i found on Google images)

This curry is prepared with a special variety of mangoes. They are called as ' local wild mangoes ' (' kaat kukku' in tulu language)

These mangoes  have a  unique taste and lots of fibre which is enjoyed  by dipping in the sweet & sour gravy while eating . 

Now we get a special variety called as shakkargutli / sugar baby mangoes which are equally good for this curry. 

I prepare this curry atleast 6-8 times during mango season and I do preserve these special variety mangoes in the freezer for future use especially for my son. You can even prepare the curry & store in the freezer for future use. 

This recipe i learnt from my mother. Very simple & easy, which doesn't need any grinding work. 

It's an instant curry which can be easily prepared by any beginner. 

Kindly go through this simple easy recipe. 

Please note:

Select good quality fully ripe mangoes. 

Jaggery can be added according to the sweetness of mangoes. 

These Mangoes have natural sweet and tangy flavour . You can add little tamarind paste, to balance tangy flavour if the mangoes are not  sour.

Here i have used Bafat powder. You can use red chilly powder instead. But bafat powder is a mixture of many spices which gives awesome taste to this dish. 

You can prepare bafat powder easily  at home following my recipe:

Mutton Green Masala This is one of the oldest & most common recipes of Mangalorean cuisine.  This quick & easy curry is a perfect blend of aromatic spices and has a freshness and flavours of herbs like coriander & mint leaves.  This flavourful green curry goes extremely well with sanna, neeru dosa/ panpole, appams and even with roti, chapathi or boiled rice. My family loves it with soft silky neeru dosas/panpole.  The soup of mutton makes this curry so glossy ,  flavourful and aromatic.  This same masala can be used for chicken too.  Please note: Use spices as per your preference.  Cooking time of mutton depends on the quality of meat.

Chicken Jiren Mirin Curry This is one of the oldest & most common recipes of mangalorean cuisine.  I still feel the aroma of this curry from my grandmother's & mom's kitchen.  Whenever we visited our grandmother, she used to prepare this curry with her own country chicken (naati koli) and serve it with hot crispy rice bakri.  The taste , aroma & grandmother's love  is just unforgettable.  This curry can be prepared very easily as very few basic ingredients are required to prepare this yummy curry. Here we use less red long chillies to enhance the flavour of other spices.   This curry is called jiren-mirin curry as jiren(jeera) & mirin(pepper) are the main ingredients which gives authentic flavour & taste to this dish.   Here we use less chillies as more pepper is added to the masala.  This curry goes extremely well with sanna, dosa, appams, panpole, chapathi and even with plain rice.  This same masala...
