Pazhutha Mango Curry / Ripe Mango Curry

This is Kerala dish. When we went to Babitha’s house for lunch she prepared this dish. I like the taste of the dish.

Generally, we trash the mangoes when they are sweet. But it is really good to make a dish with that mango.

I bought one mango to make mango pulihora. But it was ripped one. So, I asked Babitha how to prepare. She told me the recipe. So, I prepared today.
