Mambazha Pullissery / Ripe Mangoes in Yogurt gravy (Spicy,Tangy curry)

Hope you all had a great weekend!!!Today am posting the recipe of Mambazha pullissery.'Mambazham' in malayalam means ripe mangoes and 'pullissery' means a curry using yogurt or butter milk.So,the recipe to the cooked ripe mangoes in yogurt and coconut paste.

Mambazha pullissery is an old traditional dish of Kerala.Those days of my childhood, we owned lots of mango trees in my native place in Kerala and summers is the time for these mangoes to ripen and my grand mother used to prepare this recipe for us.Now adays ,there are very less mango trees in Kerala and people tend to buy mangoes from super markets to prepare this spicy, tangy combination.This is a very quick n simple recipe.

Even though I had a fair idea of this recipe,still I referred pachakam.com for the details and followed the same steps as given in the link.This recipe goes well with steamed rice and a very loved curry by all at my home.

So,enjoy the Mambazha pullissery recipe !!
