Evvvvverybody Loves Mango!!
Whenever I'm planning any sort of Indian feast at our house I always try to keep things balanced. Hot, sweet, sour, bitter, crunchy, mild. I try to get all the flavor experiences in there. Since all the courses at an Indian meal are served all at once (except dessert) it helps to have a wide range of stuff on the table. One dish that always does double duty on my table is something cool and sweet with a hint of tart and a bite of chili, and that is Mango.
I know I'm probably dating myself, but every time I pick up and peel a mango I can't help but think of this guy:
And yes...who doesn't love mango? Sliced diced, in ice cream, on salads, mango seems to get along with everything. It's the non-diva fruit. One of my favorite uses of mango is as a side dish salad, mango curd. Mango curd works especially well with spicy South Indian food, but wait…it also goes beautifully with good old barbequed chicken. Actually it tastes so good you might want to just eat a bowl of it all by it’s lonesome. If you’ve got a blender or food processor it’s also very easy to put together. Once it’s pureed and mixed with yogurt, then hit with a spicy chaunk, it’s ready before you know it.
