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.
You can also check my other Onam recipes and Mango recipes here.

Notes
- 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.
- You can also use chopped mango pieces instead of full mango.
- Make sure the mango is ripe.
- Coconut oil gives the dish an authentic taste.
