Mango is the National Fruit of India and is enjoyed across the country. In addition to enjoying the mango in desserts, .unripe and semi ripe mangoes are used in savory dishes.

The Mango Curry I am sharing today is made with semi sweet mango which are slightly sweet and tart. Simple to put together, this curry tastes best with rice.

How to make Vegan Mango Curry?

Pick 2 medium semi ripe but firm mangoes. Wash and scrub them well. Slice them as shown in the above picture. Cut the mango flesh around the mango pit as well and discard the pit.

In a mortar add 1 small jalapeno ( or green chili), one inch ginger piece and a handful of coriander leaves. Make a paste.

Heat a tablespoon of oil in a skillet and add the ½ teaspoon mustard seeds. Let the mustard pop. Reduce the heat to low and add one teaspoon of cumin seeds and ⅛th teaspoon of fenugreek seeds ( about 12-15 fenugreek seeds). Cook them for 15 – 20 seconds ( do not burn the fenugreek).

Adjust the heat to medium and add the curry leaves, mango slices, and the mango pieces and coat them with the tempering and cook for 2 minutes.

Add a pinch of asafetida, ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder, ½ teaspoon red chili powder, one teaspoon coriander powder, ½ teaspoon cumin powder, 1-2 teaspoons brown sugar (or jaggery), salt to taste and coriander ginger paste. Coat the spices with the mango and cook for 5 -7 minutes.

Tips & Notes:

Pick mango which is green from outside, semi ripe but firm.

Avoid ripe mango as it will make the curry very sweet.

Do not skip the fenugreek seeds, but don’t get tempted to add more, if not curry will become bitter.

Adjust sugar depending on how sour the mango is.

Frequently Asked Question:

What kind of mango to use?

Any semi ripe mango will work.

What can I replace jalapeno with?

Small green chili

Can I skip coconut milk?

You may, I like to add as it balances out the sourness of mango.
