Vella Manga Curry



Vella Manga Curry

Vella manga curry is side dish made with green mango and yogurt. It looks like a pachadi but  has a distant taste of kadumanga or mango pickle served for sadhya. I had a faint memory of  this sadhya dish which I tasted years back. At that time I thought that it was kadumanga achar mixed with some yogurt. I have been searching for this recipe and recently fond in an old cook book. If you are looking for Sadhya recipe with mangoes for Onam, give this recipe a try. You will surely love it.

Ingredients
Green mango chopped- 1 cup
Green chilly-2
Chilly powder- 1/2 tsp
Fenugreek powder- 1/4 tsp
Mustard seeds- 1/2 tsp
Grated coconut- 3 tbs
Yogurt- 3-4 tbs
salt to taste

To temper
Curry leaves - a few
Dry red chilly-2
Mustard seeds- 1/3 tsp
oil as needed

Peel the skin of the green mango and chop into small pieces less than half inch thick cube.Mix this with chilly powder, fenugreek powder,chopped green chilly, salt and set aside for half an hour.
Make a fine paste of coconut and half tea spoon mustard seeds and keep aside.
Heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds. When it splutters add dry red chilly and curry leaves and fry. Add the mangoes mixed with chilly powder and saute for two minute or till it becomes soft. Add the coconut paste and saute  till the raw flavor disappears. Add yogurt and mix. Switch off the flame.Serve as a side dish for sadhya.

Try it
Hope you will enjoy this recipe!

    Suja it looks like a version of what we call in South Malabar, Parukku. However that is nor tempered nor seasoned with other spices. Thank you for sharing. Will try.

Palpayasam

Paal payasam/Palpayasam Happy Onam to all my friends and readers! Wish you all a very happy and prosperous Onam!!! Onam is finally here and no celebration is complete without a sweet dessert. I am sure no Malayali can think of a sadhya without a payasam. Pal payasam is definitely a star,my all time favorite :) This is a rich delicious payasam where the rice is cooked in milk till it attains a creamy texture. The milk gets reduced and the flavor and taste is very much  like palkova. It has very little ingredients, but it is time consuming and  needs a little patience to prepare this dessert. Here I have used basmathi rice but it is best if we use payasam ari (rice) or rose matta rice.Try this you will surely love it. Ingredients Basmathi Rice- 2 hand full ( or rose matta rice) Milk- 5 cup Sugar- 1/2 cup Cardamon crushed-4-5 Cashew nut- 8-10 Wash and soak rice for one hour. In a heavy bottom pan pour milk and bring it to a bo...

Chicken Shawarma

Chicken Shawarma Today's recipe is a home made version of chicken shawarma. Shawarma is a popular sandwich of the middle east and is a favorite fast food. No one can resist this delicious sandwich of spiced meat wrapped in pita bread and drizzled with a delicious and tangy yogurt based sauce.The source of inspiration is Dedemed in youtube. I combined some recipes and ended up with a marinade flavor which my family enjoyed .The original meat used in shawarma is slow cooked chicken very similar to rotisserie chicken.But you will get almost the same results if you thinly slice chicken and use a grill pan. In the spice mix I used a little of sumac ( it is optional). It is part of middle eastern cooking and has a tart flavor and enhances the taste of seafood,meat and salads.Sumac has a very inviting fruit tart flavor which you will love,but if you do not have sumac you can very well substitute it with lemon.You can use either chicken or mutton and your own combination of sal...
