I love to try various pouring curries. We generally prepare Sambar, Rasam, Moru curry for lunch & soon after, that becomes a routine curry for any thali or any sadya. But this is a tasty Ozichu curry/pouring curry from Kerala which has a unique taste and flavour. I have to say this is one of the must try dish for someone who wants to try different pouring curries for lunch.

Plain rice and this manga curry and papad are a best combination. Or you could serve this curry with rice, pairing with any vegetable sit fry like thoran or mezhukku puratti. Simple curry prepared within minutes but the taste of the curry is just awesome. Do try this curry during this mango season!!!
