Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Peel and cut the mango into large pieces.
- Combine the mango, 1 cup water, turmeric and salt. Bring to the boil and cook until the mango is soft.
- Grind together the coconut, chilli powder, cumin and remaining 1/2 cup water until finely ground. Add to the cooked fruit and cook until thick.
- Blend the yoghurt until smooth, then add to the mango mixture with the sugar. Do not let the mixture boil or the yoghurt will curdle.
- Once heated through, remove from heat, adjust seasoning and sprinkle with the fenugreek powder.
- For tempering: heat ghee and fry the mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds, dried chillies and uncooked rice until the seeds splutter. Stir in the curry leaves and remove from heat immediately.
- Pour the tempered ghee into the kalan and stir to mix.
