Manga Parukku: Raw Mango Yogurt Curry

Manga Parukku

This recipe goes to the 'No Cook' event hosted by Padmaja of Seduce Your Tastebuds

This raw mango dish  in  mustard-coconut-yogurt base... almost a salad, is also known as Manga Pachhadi/Mango Pacchadi in other parts of Kerala.  This is a soothing summer  lunch dish and is served with rice.

Many versions of Pachhadi cook the Mango, add red chillies, and do a tempering with mustard seeds. Mallu friends from other parts of Kerala, call this recipe Manga Pachhadi with a tempering of mustard seeds, red chillies and curry leaves.

The raw mango-yogurt curry, called a Parukku, exists in our nook....This is basically a mild dish..instructions coming to me thus: Dice the raw mango fine, grind some coconut with a pinch of mustard seeds and a pinch of chilli, and add some yogurt, then season with salt! So the proportions are mine but the technique is traditional! :-)
