Raw Mango Pomfret Curry

Raw Mango Pomfret Curry

I just cannot resist using raw mangoes in summer. I use raw mangoes in a variety of recipes. The trick however, is to adjust the masalas and amount of raw mangoes based on what it is being paired with. In this recipe of the Raw Mango Pomfret Curry I’ve used coconut milk right out of a can and a few spices to make it a quick to make curry (you can also use reconstituted coconut milk powder). Try this recipe and enjoy your summer! (For more recipes using Mango, click here)
