Tangy Ripe Mango Curry and Mango Kulfi


Mango curry with rice

Chilled Mango Kulfi



The ripe mango curry is a authentic Tamil cuisine called the mampaza puli milagai kulambu in Tamil. First time tried it and it’s a great hit.

Ingredients
1 Ripe Mango
1cup Shallots/ red onions
lemon size Tamarind in 1cup water
1 cup chopped tomato / puree
½ teaspoon Turmeric
2 tsp chilli powder/ 4 green chillies
Salt


For Roasting and Grinding
½ tsp Fenugreek seeds
½ tsp Cumin
1tsp raw rice
1tsp Chana dal (Bengal gram dal)


For Tempering
1tsp Mustard seeds
½ tsp Fenugreek seeds
Curry leaves
Oil

Preparation
Roast the ingredients in a pan till slight brown, without adding oil. Grind and keep aside.
In a deep bottomed pan add 3tbsp oil and tamper with mustard, fenugreek and curry leaves. To this add onions and sauté well. Now add tamarind water, turmeric, Salt, chillipowder or green chillies. Depends on how spicy you want it to be.
After a boil on medium heat add tomato puree and bring to boil. At last add mango pieces and bring to boil for 1 minute. Add the ground powder, mix well and serve hot with rice.


Mango Kulfi
Ingredients
1cup evaporated milk or full cream milk
1cup ripe mango
½-1 cup Sugar
1tsp green cardamom powder
1/4 cup milk powder
2 tsp pistachios and almonds crushed

Preparation
In a thick bottomed pan add full cream milk or evaporated milk and bring to boil in medium. If its full cream milk it has to boil for about 20-25 minutes. For evaporated milk, once it gets heated milk powder and sugar is added and stirred well so that no lumps are formed.
Stir till the mixture reaches a custard consistency. To this add cardamom powder. Remove from the flame and let it cool.
After the mix has cooled add mango pieces and just blend in the blender for not more then 2-3 seconds so as the mango gets mixed well. Also add crushed pistachios and almonds.
Pour this mixture in any kind of molds you want. I used simple ice try to get beautiful squares. Let them get set in the freezer for about 5-6 hours. Garnish them with almond slices and pistachios. Serve chilled.
oops!! I forgot to garnish!!!!

Sharmi said...

thanks dear friends. hope all of you liked it.

Dear Sra, You really made me think on that question. I think it is green mangoes gone ripe. but not too green you know. LOL I hope you are getting me. I bought ripe mangoes which looked half green and half yellow. don't know which family they are though. sorry. it is no harm until they are not very juicy.

Kribha said...

Absolute treat Sharmi. Mango curry and kulfi looks lip smacking good. One question. Can we use mango puree instead of real mangoes for making kulfi? Pictures of your neighborhood looks great. I'm sure you'll be enjoying the lake view daily.

Richa said...

Manasi said...

Pelicano said...

Hey Sharmi!
I thought I'd stop by to see what beauty you have captured here; I am not disappointed! :-)

Your mango curry looks divine; I have eaten a similar dish and rice is the perfect complement to set the aroma free... The kulfi I am drooling over, as I am in a great need of such a sweet right now; I'll try this!

Those first pics of flowers are "flowering crab-apples" and are something I look forward to every year! If I had my way, I would have the whole yard planted with a small forst of them! ;-)

Cynthia said...

Oh Sharmi, this is such a lovely post. I haven't had mango curry in a long time. I'll have to make some soon. Thanks for the inspiration.

The Mango Kulfi - first time I heard of it but it sounds like something I would like so I've bookmarked the recipe to try it. Thanks.

The flowers and other pics are so full of life. Thanks for sharing.
