Preparation

In a blender, grind coconut with 2 tablespoons of yoghurt and 1/2 tsp turmeric powder ,until smooth and creamy.

Pour the water into a pan and cook the mangoes with green chili, chili powder, turmeric powder(1/2tsp), cumin powder and salt, until softened. Pour in the coconut yoghurt cream. Stir continuously for five minutes and turn off the flame. Stir in the rest of the yoghurt and add salt to taste.

In another saucepan, heat oil and mustard until the seeds pop. Add fenugreek, red chilies and curry leaves, and saute for a few seconds. Add shallots and saute until brown. Transfer to the mango pulisherry and your dish is ready to be served!
