Prawns mango / Chemmeen manga curry is a common curry in Kerala.This is my MIL's delight.She prepares very yummy curry with prawns.She either grinds the grated coconut to a fine paste and adds to the curry or squeezes the coconut milk and then adds into it.Both are awesome recipes with raw mango.I generally tend to eat the raw mango slices more than the prawns.Its damn tasty with spice mix.
Here,in this recipe I have used her first method of grinding coconut into a fine paste.The recipe is good with any Indian staple food.
Ingredients
prawns 1lb
raw mango 1 peeled n sliced
garlic 3 cloves shredded
ginger 1'' shredded
shallots 5-6 sliced
green chillies 4 slender cut
coconut 1/2 cup grated
fenugreek seeds 1/2 tsp
chilly powder 1 tsp
turmeric powder 1/2 tsp
mustard seeds 1tsp
salt
oil 3 tsp (preferably coconut oil)
curry leaves
