A finger licking recipe with the balance of taste and flavours is without any doubt the Mambazha Pulissery. The sweet ripe mangoes cooked in coconut and yogurt based gravy. The sweetnesss from mangoes and the sourness from the curd. With hot steamed rice tastes irresistible.

       Easy to make tasty Onam Sadya dish. Generally prepared when the mangoes are in season. It is one of my favourite Ona sadya preparation. The juicy mangoes lightly absorb the masala and tastes very nice. Try this yummy preparation for this Onam if you have not tried yet.

  • When the curry starts to bubble add the beaten curd (you can add inside the blender and give a pulse) and stir well to mix evenly. 
  • Immediately switch off the gas once the curry get heated. Donot allow the curry to boil after adding the curd. Then the curry tend to split.
