Curried Mango Recipes

CURRY MANGO

Steps:

• Cut up the mango and clean. There is a semi- transparent lining that has to be removed together with the pieces of the seed.
• Add the salt and boil the mangoes. Drain and set aside.
• Mix the curry, saffron, geera powder and water. Saute the garlic and hot pepper. Add the curry mixture and cook for about two minutes.
• Add the sugar to the mangoes then pour into the pot and evenly coat with the curry. Pour a little water and add the chadon beni.
• Cook for another 5 -7 minutes to allow the curry. To infuse and water to evaporate. The mango should have a semi dry, paste like consistency when done. Season to taste and serve.

CURRIED MANGO & CHICKPEA POT

Steps:

• Combine the chickpeas, yogurt, lemon and korma paste in a bowl, then toss with the carrot, cabbage, spinach and mango. Tip into your lunchbox or an airtight container and scatter with the nigella seeds and red chilli.

MANGO CURRY

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine mangoes, shallots, green chiles, ginger, garlic, vinegar, and salt and mix well. Set aside for 2 hours.
• In a large saucepan, combine mango mixture and coconut milk and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, or until mangoes are softened.
• Have a splash guard and measured spices nearby. Heat oil in a small frying pan over medium-high heat until nearly smoking. Immediately reduce heat to medium. (You can test the heat of the oil by dropping in a couple of seeds. The oil is at the correct temperature when the seeds crackle, but do not burn.) Add mustard seeds and temper for a few seconds, until they stop popping. (Cover with the splash guard, if needed.) Add red chiles and curry leaves and cook for 15-20 seconds. Add the tempered spice mixture to the saucepan and stir to combine.
• Garnish with fried onions (if using). Serve with rice.
• Cooks' Note
• Tempering is a traditional method of extracting optimal flavor from Indian spices, and it is a skill learned with practice! Reducing the heat a little before adding the spices prevents the spices from burning and adding a bitterness to your dish. If they do burn, simply start again with fresh spices.

CURRIED MANGO SAUCE

Steps:

• Pare mango, cut flesh from pit, and place in blender.
• Heat oil in small skillet over medium heat.
• Add curry powder, stir until blended and remove from heat.
• Add curry mixture and mint to mango.
• With blender running, pour in broth.
• Remove to bowl, add lime juice and salt to taste and stir vigorously.

CREAMY CHICKEN & MANGO CURRY

Steps:

• Toss the chicken thighs with 1 tsp of the turmeric and some salt. Heat the oil in a big frying pan or wide flameproof casserole, and brown the thighs well on both sides. Remove from the pan. Add the chopped onion and cook for 5 mins until softened.
• Roughly cut all the flesh from one of the mangoes, scraping as much as you can from the stone. Put into a food processor with the korma paste, ginger and quartered onion. Whizz to a paste, then tip into the pan and gently cook until softened.
• Stir in the remaining turmeric, cumin and onion seeds and turn up the heat for a couple of mins. Return the chicken to the pan. Stir in the coconut milk and stock. Bring to a gentle simmer, then cover and cook for 20 mins.
• Uncover the pan and cook for another 25-30 mins until the chicken is really tender, adding a few drops of water to keep it saucy.
• Slice the remaining mango and stir in to heat through while you shred the chicken with two forks. Season and serve scattered with the coriander, with basmati rice, naan bread, chutney, lime pickle and our sides, if you like.
