Add this and 1/2- 1 cup of water to the mangoes.

Notes: I used coconut oil. The gravy of this curry has a medium thick consistency, so adjust the amount of water accordingly. I think back home this is made with a type of Mango called “chandrakaran”, am not sure about it though. Usually its made with mangoes which are smaller in size (at least I think so ;) ).

My amma was saying sometimes a little jaggery is added towards the end of cooking to give it more sweetness. I haven’t tried it that way. Please give it a try, if you like that flavor.
