Mambhazha Pulissery (Mango Pulissery)

Its mango season in Kerala now and recently my husband  had a short visit, my mother in law send some fresh ripe mangoes from the tree in front of our house.  Sweet and juicy ripe mangoes. Very tasty as a fruit as such, Mangoes…. always makes you nostalgic. 
Mambhazha pulissery is a simple dish.. a perfect combo of ripe mangoes and yoghurt. The tampering with mustards, fenugreek and chillies gives the extra flavors and taste. My daughter loves this curry too.

Best with rice , Can be part of the Kerala sadya ,mambhazhapulissery contributes the sweet taste.
Here is my version


Ingredients :-
Ripe mangoes - 2
Red chili powder - 1/2 teaspoon
Turmeric powder - 1/2 teaspoon
Water
yogurt / curd – 1 ½  cups
Salt
Grated coconut – ½  cup
Cumin seeds - ½  teaspoon
Turmeric powder- ¼   teaspoon
Green chili - 2 no.s
Mustard seeds - 1 teaspoon
Fenugreek seeds – ½   teaspoon
Dry red chili (whole) - 4 no.s
Curry leaves
Oil


Method

Peel the skin of the mangoes.  I used not so small mangoes. So I cut the flesh into pieces and discarded the skin. Cook the mangoes with ¼ tea spoon turmeric powder, ½ tea spoon chilli powder, salt and water.
Grind the grated coconut, cumin seeds, turmeric powder, and green chilli with some curd to make it a smooth paste.  Add the paste to the cooked mangoes and cook again for another 3-4 min.
Lower the flame and add the curd and mix well.
Heat oil in a pan , splutter the mustard seeds, fenugreek seed, red chillies and curry leaves.  Pour this tampering over the pulissery.
Mambhazha pulissery is ready!
