Method:

Preparation:

• Wash the mango and cut it into broad pieces (if you are using small mango no need of cutting, use as such). I use seeds also.
• Take curd in a bowl and stir it well. Keep aside.

Method:

• In a thick bottomed vessel, add mangoes, turmeric powder, green chillies, red chilly powder and salt.
• Add a little water and mix well.
• Let it boil and then keep the stove on low flame.
• Meanwhile grind all the ingredients listed under "to grind" to a smooth paste.
• Add it to the cooked mango and stir it well. Wait for a few seconds and add curd to it.
• Mix all the things well and remove it from fire.
• Heat a pan with oil.
• Add mustard seeds and when it splutters, add fenugreek seeds, dry red chilly and curry leaves.
• Pour it to the pulissery and mix well.
• Cover the pan with a lid and keep aside for 10 minutes.
• Now yummy mambazha pulissery is ready to serve.

Note:

• If your mango is not sweet enough add a pinch of sugar or jaggery to it.
• Coconut oil gives the real flavour to the curry but you may use any other oil too.
