Kadumanga/Mango Pickle


Kadumanga/Mango Pickle

Today's recipe is a tongue tickling and addictive mango pickle.This pickle is called Kadamanga and is quick and instant pickle.It is an indispensable part of Kerala Sadhya, our traditional vegetarian feast. This pickle is made for wedding feasts and major festivals like Onam and Vishu. Sadhya preparation is a lengthy process and at home pickles are usually made the day before. Mango, lemon and ginger pickle is must have for sadhya. I think Kadumanga is the easiest pickle to make. Ginger pickle or inji curry takes more time to make, so I start with it and kudamanga is the final pickle. This hard to resist spicy condiment can be made in a jiffy.
We rarely get raw mangoes here and last week I was so glad to come across raw mangoes in our grocery store. I took a few and planned mango pickle and a batch of kadumanga for Onam Sadhya. I am not sure about the authentic version. This is how my mom makes at home,so sharing her recipe. This is quick and instant and spicy relish made with green mangoes.


Ingredients
Raw mango chopped- 3 cup
Mustard seeds- 1 tsp+1/2 tsp
Green chilly chopped-3
Chilly powder- 2 tbs
(Or according to your spice tolerance)
Asafoetida- 1/2 tsp
Fenugreek powder- 1/2 tsp
Salt to taste
Gingerly oil- 1/3 cup
Curry leaves-2 springs




Wash and wipe the mangoes dry and chop into small pieces. Mix in salt and keep aside for 2-3 hours.
There will be water from the mangoes, drain and keep aside.
Boil 1/2 cup water and keep aside to cool.
Heat a pan and dry roast 1/2 of the mustard seeds. When it just begins to splutter switch off the flame and grind this into a coarse mixture and keep aside.
Heat oil in a pan and add the rest of the mustard seeds. When it splutters add green chilly and curry leaves and after a minute reduce the flame to low and add chilly powder,fenugreek powder and asafoetida. Add 1/2 cup of the boiled water and also the water from the mangoes and mix in. Bring this mixture to a boil and allow to reduce. 
Next add the chopped mangoes and coarsely grounded mustard seeds and mix well. After a minute switch off the flame. At this stage the mangoes will be crunchy. If you like it softer continue to simmer in medium flame for three minute. Allow it to cool down and keep in air tight containers.

Kerala Black Halwa/ Karutha Halwa/ Rice Flour Halwa

Kerala Black Halwa/ Karutha Halwa/ Rice Flour Halwa December has finally arrived and it means it is almost Christmas time! How many of you look forward to the Season of Joy! My birthday also comes in December, so it is a double celebration for me :) How is the Christmas planning coming along for everyone? It is exactly three weeks for Christmas and I am planning to share a few recipes for the holidays this year. This is the first one I wanted to share with all of you -Kerala style sweet delicacy- a real nostalgia, the Black Halwa. Halwas has always amazed me with its simplicity, unique texture and taste. It is a gel-like sweet candy that you can never stop eating. When making halwa there is a time-honored cooking technique and halwa making is time-consuming. So people simply prefer to buy it from the shop. But making your own is a rewarding experience. Now many of the traditional sweets are forgotten or get overlooked for fancier ones in bakeries. But that is not the case w

Kerala Beef Vindaloo- Anglo-Indian Recipe

Kerala Beef Vindaloo Vindaloo is often synonymous with fiery, bold, pungent curries. It is one Indian curry that needs no introduction. It is lip-smacking delicious, tenderly cooked meat in a spicy gravy. It is almost pickle like with flavor of vinegar and ground mustard. But again, the perfect vindaloo curry strikes the right balance with chilies, aromatic spices, and vinegar- a perfect balance of acidity, spicy heat, and flavor of earthy spices. Authentic Goan Vindaloo is made with pork, but you can also use beef or mutton. Vindaloo may sound complicated, but it is an easy recipe. You can make a restaurant-style curry right in your kitchen. Today I am sharing two ways to cook this recipe. The  traditional slow-cooked stove top recipe  and  an Instant pot recipe . Recently I have been making this curry in Instant pot and it comes out perfect each time. Beef Vindaloo is a quintessential dish for Christmas feasts in Kerala. It is popular among Christians and the Anglo-I
