Meen Manga Curry, Fish Curry in Raw Mango coconut Sauce

meen-manga-curry

This recipe for meen manga curry is a slight variation from the Alleppey Fish Curry that I have shared before. I love mango in curry. The delicious tang that mangoes impart into the sauce makes this dish so good. Also with ginger and coconut, it just gets better. This Keralan meen manga curry is such a keeper. Here is the recipe for meen manga curry.

First, we need to get the mangoes ready. There are different varieties of raw mangoes that’s available in the market. One can use whatever is in season. I just added one mango today for the curry. If the raw mango is not very sour, add a little bit more if you want a very tangy curry. Wash, peel and cut the mango into big chunky slices. Discard the seed. Set aside.

Heat coconut oil in a pan and add in the mustard seeds and fenugreek seeds (vendhayam). Let the mustard seeds splutter. Add in the ginger, green chillies and and curry leaves. Fry briefly for 10 seconds.

Add in the onions and fry till the onions are soft. You can substitute shallots instead of onions for a more traditional flavor.

Take a small cup and add in the masala powders to the cup. Turmeric powder, Red chilli powder and coriander powder. Add 1/4 cup of water and make a paste.
