Mango Bhaji

Manga Bhaji (mango morkozhambu)
This is a  typical Iyengar dish and seriously, it is an acquired taste.


What goes in:
1 Raw Mango, cut into pieces.

Raw mango

2cups curd, whisked nicely.
2 green chillies, slit
2 Mor Milaga ( Green chillies soaked in salted buttermilk and sundried)
1/2 tsp Mustard seeds
1/2 Fenugreek seeds
A pinch of Hing(Asafoetida)
Salt to taste.

Wash and cut the Mango into big pieces.
Pressure cook with very little water and let it cool.
 Whisk the curds in a vessel and add salt.
 Heat a pan and add a little oil and add the mustard seeds and Fenugreek seeds. As soon as they splutter, add green chillies and Asafoetida and switch off.
Fry the mor milagas  in a little oil and add it to the pan.
Add the curd to the mixture.
 Once the Mango is cold, add it to the curd. Check and adjust for salt.
This dish can be  had with hot steamed rice and ghee, and is great as a side dish for Dosa, Poori, etc.  and tastes like  Khadi.
