And because we love mangoes so much,we went scouring our recipe books and the interwebs for new mango dishes to try and share with you. Here are the five that delivered a happy zing to our taste buds and gave us all the summer feels. 

Vegan Mango Curry

Ingredients 

  • Ripe, sweet mangoes, 3 nos, diced  
  • Fresh coconut milk, 2 cups (use the first extraction and don’t add water)
  • Turmeric, ¼ tsp
  • Vegetable oil, 1 tsp 
  • Dry red chillies, 2 nos 
  • Mustard seeds, 1½ tsp
  • Curry leaves, 1 sprig 
  • Sugar or grated jaggery, 2 tsp
  • Salt, to taste 
  • Optional: Hing, ¼ tsp

How to make it 

  1. Grind together the coconut milk, ½ cup of the mango flesh, chillies and ½ teaspoon of mustard seeds. Set aside. 
  2. Heat the oil and add the remaining mustard seeds. When the seeds start to splutter, add the curry leaves, turmeric, and hing (if using). 
  3. Add the mango flesh and the ground coconut milk paste. Add a cup of water and stir in the sugar or jaggery. 
  4. Add salt to taste. 
  5. Heat through till the coconut milk starts to simmer, and then turn off the heat.

The key to this recipe is that the mangoes are ripe and sweet, not the half ripe ones. Serve hot or warm with rice.
