PREPARATION

















  • I prefer small nattu manga (small ripe mangoes) for this recipe. If so, peel the mangoes and use the whole mango for the recipe. Or if using big ripe mangoes, chop them into medium-sized pieces.
  • Add the ripe whole mangoes in a vessel or manchatti along with turmeric powder, chilli powder, pepper powder and salt. 
  • Add half a cup of water and bring it to boil over a medium flame. 
  • Cook until the mangoes are done. Stir occasionally. When done, add sugar and mix well.
  • Meanwhile grind the coconut mixture along with quarter cup of water to a fine paste.(do not add more water as we need the pulissery a minimum thick consistency) 
  • Once the mangoes are done, add the grounded coconut mixture to it. Mix well. If you need thin consistency, then add water now(optional).
  • Cook until the bubbles start. Do not let it boil. Check for salt. Remove from flame.
  • Heat a pan with oil. Splutter mustard seeds, then add fenugreek seeds (uluva), dried red chilies, curry leaves and fry until done. Pour this over the prepared pulissery or kalan. Cover and serve after few minutes.
  • Delicious mambazha pulissery / mambazha kalan ready.
