unlike puliserry, this mango tamarind curry was an inspiration from the kara kulambu, pacha manga curry and tried out with the fusion of both and it turned out so good. it was not only good with rice, but also for dosa and idli.

take the vessel that your going to use for cooking. before switching on stove, add onions, green chilli, curry leaves and crush them with your hands. i have used mud pots here, you can use any vessel that is suitable for making curry.
peel the mango skin and add it to the curry. I have used smaller variety mangoes which are fibrous as well as very sweet. you can use any variety, if using larger size mangoes, then cut it into cubes. squeeze it with your hands slightly until juices realease and mixes with onions.
chop the coriander leaves very finely and add them along with turmeric powder and chilli powder. we have added green chillies, so adjust red chilli powder according to the mango sweetness. more sweet, more chilli powder needed.
furthermore, add coriander powder and sambar powder and salt to taste.
now add the tamarind water. we have to soak 1/4 cup tamarind in 2-2.5 cups water for 15 minutes and then squeeze out tamarind extract and discard the tamarind leftover. mix well and at this stage only we have to put it on stove adding a pinch of asafoetida.
cook for 10-15 minutes on medium heat until the mangoes are soft and is easily mashable. the mango pulp has to leave out and mix with the curry.
finally add jaggery to taste. adjust jaggery or you can even skip it if the mangoes are too sweet. cook until the curry is thick.
for tempering: heat oil and crackle mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds, cumin seeds, red chilli, urad dal, chana dal and vengaya vadagam. adding onion vadagam is optional if you do not have it skip it. fry for few seconds and put off the stove .
add the tempering to the curry and mix well. serve hot with rice.
