Mambazha Pulissery / Ripe Mango Buttermilk Gravy

As I’m still seeing Mangoes everywhere, the mango season is not over yet! So I decided to make Mambazha Pulissery / Ripe Mango Buttermilk Gravy because I have been dying to make them for Onam (a Kerala festival which is just around the corner). Mambazha Pulissery / Ripe Mango Buttermilk Gravy takes the main role in Sadya.

Notes

  1. Don’t blend the yogurt in a blender as it will become watery. So just beat it with a spoon to make sure that it maintains its thick consistency.
  2. You can also use chopped mango pieces instead of full mango.
  3. Make sure the mango is ripe.
  4. Coconut oil gives the dish an authentic taste.
