Prawn Mango Curry | Chemmeen Manga Curry
A deeply satisfying prawn mango 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.

Preparation
Step 1
For preparing the delicious dish, Heat the oil in a large pan. Add the mustard seeds. As soon as they begin to sputter, add the onions, green chillies, ginger and curry leaves. Cook over medium heat until the onions are light brown.
Step 2
Add the chilly powder, coriander powder and turmeric. Stir everything together thoroughly and cook for another two minutes.
Step 3
Add the prawns and the mangoes, stir in 1 cup water and bring the mixture to boil. Lower the heat and Let it cook for 5 minutes.
Step 4
Lower the heat under the pan, add the coconut milk and simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens and the prawns are well cooked. Season with salt and serve hot.
Step 5
The Curry dish is ready.
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.
