Mango with mixed veg Curry / Mangayitta Pacha Theeyal

Mango season is back! J and you can find it’s taste in each & every recipe. Mangayitta Pacha Theeyal/mixed veg curry with mango is what I know than my in-laws special cucumber curry. Today I dipped my tongue in my in-laws special. No matter they differ in opinion with My MIL they had a unique taste in cooking.

Amma claims that no Brinjal/egg plant goes with this curry. Cucumber with carrot, drumstick, tomato, mango and green chili combination suits well.

Ingredients:

Cucumber – sliced square shape – ¼ cup

Drumstick – sliced point finger length – 5-7 nos

Carrot – sliced cubes – ¼ cup

Mango – sliced cubes – ¼ cup

Green chillies – 1, sliced into 2-3 pieces

To grind:

Coconut grated – 2 cups (medium)

Shallots /small onion – 2 nos

Method:

Cook sliced cucumber, Drumstick Carrot, Mango and green chili in a heavy bottomed pan/cooker  with salt. Grind the items listed under ‘to grind’ with water in a mixer into a smooth paste. Heat oil in a cheenachutty /wok – add mustard seeds to splutter, and then finely chopped shallots, fry till it turns golden brown. Now add curry leaves and red chilli toss well - pour grinded paste and cooked veggies into it. No need to boil just heat it, your theeyal is ready to serve.

Note:  when you use cooker - make sure the mango doesn’t go mushy. If that theeyal goes tangy.
