This vegetarian dish made with ripe mangoes is a part of Kerala sadya items. Even though I have shared this before, it was a guest post. I wanted to have a direct post in my blog. So when I prepared it at home, captured some pictures to post it here. Usually small variety mangoes (‘nattu manga‘) are used for this. You can use 4-5 mangoes and just remove the skin and use it as whole. But If you are using bigger varieties, 1 big is enough, you can slice it and use. Always use ripe and sweet mangoes, since this curry is of sweet and sour type.
