However I am really very happy to start working after a long break.Since sharing my life events and experiences in this space has become my habit, am at present super excited !
So the news in my husbands hometown (Angamaly) is the release of a Malayalam movie called
"Angamaly Diaries" We were watching the movie-trailer and I got stuck with this "Meen -Manga Curry (Fish-Mango in coconut milk gravy) which is one of the best dish I have had in their place and Ammamma (Nithin's Granny) used to make it so very deliciously..
I didn't wait to make this fish -manga curry 😊
This is a must try recipe if you are a fan of fish cooked in tenga-paal (Coconut milk), raw mango gives this a classic tangy twist....
& this curry with some Kerala rice...for the Malayalaies - this is Yumminess overloaded !!
Note - I didn't have fresh Manga (Raw mango) so I used the salted Mango pieces(uppu manga)
Manga - Uppilittathu (Raw mango in brine) this is one of the treasures that I have in my kitchen.
Here's the Recipe
