Notes

  • If you cannot find small variety of mangoes, you can use any variety of mangoes. 
  • Make sure the mango is ripe but not too ripe so they disintegrate in the gravy. 
  • Use Coconut oil which gives authentic taste to the gravy. 
  • Fresh or frozen coconut can be used. If using frozen, you can grind it with hot water. 
  • Use thick unsour curd for the gravy which helps with the creamy texture.
