Meen manga curry
This is a traditional fish curry of Kerala which is spicy, sour and flavorful and raw mango is used as flavoring and souring agent instead of tamarind or kudampuli. This is is common curry back home especially when mangoes are in season and for the rest of the year sun dried mangoes( Ada Manga) are used to make this curry. King fish,mackerel,sardines, prawns all taste delicious with mangoes. This curry is a quick version.You can grind shredded coconut into a fine paste and use in this recipe which gives a thick creamy gravy or just use thick coconut milk
