Mangga Kalan ( Kerala Style )

Ingredients needed for Mangga Kalan:
10 fully ripe small variety mangoes
1 tsp turmeric powder
2 teaspoons Pepper powder ( if you like you can add more pepper powder)
1 cup sour curds
2 tbsp of grated jaggery
Salt to taste
2 cups of grated coconut
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 tbsp mustard
4 red chillies
handful curry leaves
2 tbsps coconut oil

How to prepare Mangga Kalan:
Just peel the skins of the small ripe mangoes. Add turmeric powder, pepper powder and enough water to cook the mangoes till they are tender.
Add salt to taste and grated jaggery, bring it to boil and simmer for a few minutes .
Add beaten curds into this, allow it to come to boil.
Meanwhile grind grated coconut and cumin seeds to a fine smooth paste (the consistency should be like butter ).
Add the paste to the boiling curry. Remove from fire.
Heat oil in a frying pan, add mustard and broken red chillies. When it splutters and the chilles turn shade add curry leaves. When the leaves turn brown pour the mix over the curry.
Mangga Kalan or Mangga Pulissery is ready to serve. Serve with hot steaming rice and vegetables with Papad.

Note:
Tastes heavenly with the sweet and sour taste and all of you will relish it. This is one of Kerala curries, made in summer, when you get plenty of mangoes in different sizes and shapes.
You can also use bigger ripe varieties , only the you have to cut them into small pieces and then cook with the nut. Then just follow the same recipe.
