Kairichi Amti (raw mango in coconut curry)
Kairichi amti |
The recipe here is a curry made with raw mangoes simmered in coconut gravy. Its a Konkani dish and it vegetarian version of fish curry which is made in Konkani houses. My hubby loves this version, so its commonly prepared in summer.
This recipe is handed over to me by my mother, who in turn learnt it from her mother in law. My granny was an amazing cook when it came to fishes n seafood.. She was born n brought in Goa before getting married and later shifting to Mumbai. So she had some really amazing seafood recipes..
You must try this simple recipe before mangoes are out of season.. it tastes great with rice and fried papad. Don't forget to eat some of the marinated mangoes while preparing this curry.
