This is an authentic recipe of Kerala. It uses the King of Fruits -Mango as the main ingredient . So I need not describe what the flavor would be , its simply exquisite. A little bit sweet gravy to go with boiled rice and a dry curry . It is mostly loved by kids and adults the same way. I do not think there would be any South Indian who do not like Mangoes or Jack fruits . This is a simple curry preparation .For this we need very ripe and sweet mangoes. I do not know to name the suitable ones , here I got the normal ripe mangoes which is seen in all grocery stores. I was doubtful if it would be good for the recipe but that worked well for me.
