Chouli Ani Nonche Ambya Ghassi(Chouli Beans And Salted Mango Curry)
Konkanis make use of the salted mangoes during off season. These salted mangoes are good sustitutes for the sour taste and can be used in many hot and spicy curries. This gives a good taste too.
Ingredients:
chouli beans/lobia(pulse)-200gms,
salted mango-1 small,
red chillies-5,
turmeric powder-1/4tsp,
coconut scrapings-1cup,
mustard seeds-1tsp,
jeera-1tsp,
oil-2tsps(preferably coconut oil),
curry leaves-a few,
salt to taste.(Salted mango already has salt in it)
Method:
Cook chouli to a soft texture(Soaking it in water for an hour hastens cooking).
Grind masala with coconut, chillies and turmeric powder to make a smooth paste.
Boil the masala for 5mts, adding little water.
Then add the cooked chouli and mango cut into pieces, along with the requisite quantity of salt and cook for few mts more.
As the mango has salt content in it, additional salt has to be added very carefully.
Remove from flame and season with mustard, jeera and curry leaves in oil.
