Mambazham Pulissery/Mango and Spiced Yogurt Curry




Mambazha Pulissery/Mango and Spiced Yogurt Curry

Mambazham/ Mango Pulisherri is a sweet and spicy curry made with ripe sweet mangoes. It is an old-fashioned recipe still made and served in many homes in Kerala. Whenever I get ripe mangoes, I cannot resist making mambazham pulisherri. It is absolute comfort food and goes well with steamed rice. Cooked mangoes are mixed with cumin flavored yogurt to make this delicious curry. There is a beautiful balance between the sweetness of mangoes and the sourness of spiced yogurt. The heat is from the green chilies and red chili powder and the earthiness from turmeric, fenugreek seeds, and cumin. Does it sound simple? And yes, it is a simple curry. If you are on a time crunch, this is a perfect recipe for you.

Pulisheri is the most common yogurt-based dish in Kerala cuisine. Pulisheri is made both with vegetables and fruits.  Ripe sweet mangoes make delicious curries like pulisherri, pachadi, or manga curry with coconut paste. Freshly ground coconut paste, cumin, curry leaves, and coconut oil add aroma and taste to this curry. 

There are a few mangoes that are selected for this curry.  If you are lucky to get Kerala naatu manga, chandrakaran, kotturkonam, or moovandan variety of mangoes, try using them to make pulisherri. The flavor of these mangoes are very unique. Pulisheri is also part of Kerala Sadhya. Sadhya is a hearty vegetarian feast with rice and curries and is served on all festive occasions. Try this delicious sweet and sour curry with mangoes, and let me know how it turned out for you :) Happy cooking!


Mambazham Pulissery/Mango and Spiced Yogurt Curry

Ingredients
Ripe mangoes-4-5 small sized mangoes
(or two medium sized cut into cubes)
Yogurt- 2 cup
Grated coconut- 1/2 cup
Green chilly-2
Turmeric powder-1/2 tsp
Chilly powder- 1/2 tsp
Fenugreek powder- 1/2 tsp
Mustard seeds-  1/2 tsp
Fenugreek seeds -a few
Chopped shallot- 1
Whole red chilly-1
Curry leaves-2 springs

Peel and cut mangoes into large chunks. If you are getting the small variety, then you can peel it and use it as a whole.
In a saucepan, put mangoes, chilly powder, turmeric, salt, and one cup of water. Cover and cook till mangoes get cooked, and it becomes a little creamy and thick.

Grind coconut and green chilly into a fine paste using little water and add to the mango mixture, stir and cook in medium flame for two minutes. Do not allow it to boil and switch off the flame. Blend fenugreek powder and yogurt and add to the cooked mangoes. Simmer for one more minute in low flame.

Heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds and fenugreek seeds. When mustard splutters, add shallots, red chilly, and curry leaves and fry.  Allow getting slightly brown. Pour this over the curry, mix, and cover with a lid till it is ready to be served.

  3. This looks absolutely mouthwatering. I've never tried this dish myself. When my parents went to India for a visit last month one of our neighbors invited them for lunch and the aunty there made this dish. Dad fell in love with it (he's not a big mango fan). Thanks to you, I can probably borrow this recipe from you and try to recreate the dish for Dad... Good job!!! :)

So to avoid it I  marinated the fish and fried it before combining with rice. You can also add carrots, cabbage,bok choy or any veggies of your choice.
