Mambazha kuzhambu recipe, Ripe mango gravy

August 16, 2019 by Raks Anand Leave a Comment / Jump to Recipe

mambazha-kuzhambu Mambazha kuzhambu is made with ripe mangoes, the tiny mango variety is cooked in tamarind based gravy. Yummiest mango you would ever taste.

I have tasted mambazha kuzhambu a lot of times as amma makes it in mango season. We get tiny mangoes which they sell in ‘kooru’ (they sell as clusters), best for making kuzhambu. Amma makes both kuzhambu and sambar with such tiny mangoes. I never made or had it after marriage.

Once when Rakesh invited us for lunch to his home, his mom Mrs.Rama made yummy mambazha kuzhambu. I was in heaven and took me back to my childhood once I tasted it. Her method was different from how amma makes. She had slow cooked the mangoes in the tamarind gravy until it got split open by itself and absorbed the spices.

Amma makes a quicker version by slitting the skin manually and add to gravy to fasten the process. I made it yesterday and loved it a lot, thoroughly enjoyed it. Vj too loved it. At first he was surprised to see a full mango on his plate with kuzhambu. But later he just loved it and finished in no time. I added just two one for him and one for myself. The gravy won’t hold more than that sadly 😁.

Notes

  • Choose 3/4th ripe mangoes. This way the texture wont be too soft after it gets cooked.
  • Mom adds finely chopped garlic along with onion. I skipped.

Me and Vj had the mango as side dish as well as had as such. Yummy both the ways. The kuzhambu also is so flavourful because of the neelam mango.
