  1. Preethi I have a weakness for any mango curry. I love the Gujarati style so much I can eat a whole bowlful one its own. Would love to try this version. However can I use chopped ripe mango as I may not get the small variety. Love your presentation, its so mouthwatering.

    1. Preethi Prasad

      Yes you can try with mango slices. Whole mango would be better.Whole mango dipped in this spicy tangy curry is just out of the world when you take a bite.Do try whenever convenient and give your feedback.

  2. Oh wow, what a delicious dish using sweet ripe mangoes. I rarely cook with ripe mangoes, but your dish sounds absolutely delicious. Would love to give this a try some time.
