Pazha Manga Curry
A deeply satisfying pazha manga curry simmered slowly with freshly ground spices and coconut. The kind of gravy that thickens as it rests and rewards patience with layered, rounded flavour.
Ingredientsfor 3 servings
- Semi ripe Mangoes — cubed
- 2 tbsp Onions — chopped
- 1 nos Onion medium — cut into cubes
- 3 nos Green chillies
- 2 tbsp Ginger — chopped
- 1 tsp Red chilly powder
- 1/4 tsp Turmeric powder
- 1/8 tsp Fenugreek powder (Uluva)
- 3 nos Dry red chillies (Kollamulaku)
- Curry leaves, to taste
- Salt, to taste
- 4 cup Yoghurt/Curd Thayiru
- 2 tbsp Oil
- 1 tsp Mustard seeds
- 11/2 cup Water
Preparation
Step 1
Beat the yoghurt with water along with half of the chilly powder and set aside.
Step 2
Cook the cubed onions, mangoes and cut green chillies in half a cup of water.
Step 3
Allow it to cool and set aside.
Step 4
Heat the oil in a frying pan and crackle mustard seeds.
Step 5
Add curry leaves and chopped onions and sauté.
Step 6
Add ginger and dry chillies.
Step 7
Add fenugreek powder, turmeric powder and chilly powder.
Step 8
Cook over medium heat and add salt.
Step 9
Add the previously cooked mango onion preparation into this and Stir everything together thoroughly.
Step 10
Add yoghurt and cook on a low heat till the preparation becomes hot. Stir constantly to prevent the yoghurt curdling. :-Examine the wooden spoon periodically. If you see steam coming from it, you have reached the end point of cooking.

Tip
Let the curry rest for at least 15 minutes after cooking — the flavours deepen as it sits. Reheated curry almost always tastes better than fresh.
