Mango season has finally begun and I cannot have enough of them. From begging and buttering old aunties for mangoes in their compound to devising plans to steal mangoes from the trees hanging above the streets, my mind has been going berserk. I found a solution to this unending need for mangoes by buying a dozen of them from the Central Market in Mangalore. The variety I bought were called Badami mangoes. We decided to make mango curry for lunch today and I was super excited to share the recipe here.
