AMBE UPKARI/RIPE MANGO CURRY !!!!!!!

Ambe upkari or Ripe mango curry  is a pure Konkani delicacy. You can have it with rice as side dish or you can eat it independently. Well i would like to eat it independently especially in the evening. This ambe upkari is made from home grown mangoes. These mangoes are specially used for making ambe upkari & we call it GONTAMBO in Konkani. I feel it has a different flavour & taste than other mangoes. Usually i don't eat mangoes but this is my favourite one.

INGREDIENTS:-

ripe mangoes - 6
green chilly - 3
maida - 3 tbl sp
long red chilly - 2
jaggery to taste
salt to taste
oil for seasoning
mustard seeds - 1 1/2 tsp
curry leaves - 3 strands

METHOD:-

1. Remove the peel of mangoes. Now add little water to the peel & squeeze it properly to get the juice. Repeat this process twice.
2. Take the peeled mangoes+juice extracted+slit green chillies in a pan & bring to boil.
3. Cook it further till the colour of mangoes slightly changes. Add jaggery & salt depending on your taste.
4. Continue cooking for further few mins.
5. Now take maida in a bowl & dilute it by adding water & add it to the curry & cook it for further few mins. This procedure will thickens the gravy.
6.In a tadka pan, put oil.When hot add mustard seeds. When it starts spluttering add curry leaves+long red chilly pieces & fry till the colour of curry leaves changes slightly. Add it to the mango curry & switch off the stove & close this curry with a lid. 

HAPPY COOKING :)))))))
