Mambazha Pulissery/Ripe mangoes in Yogurt Gravy

This is one of my favorite Kerala delicacy..Mambazha Pulissery
Needless to say it makes me soo nostalgic..!
Brings back the sweet memories of the numerous summer vacations I spend with my cousins at my dad’s ancestral home, which by the way is surrounded by loads n loads on mango trees..
We kids used to gorge on ripe mangoes all day round till we get a tummy ache!!
This time around my mom managed to bring along some mangoes from my hometown and we made this yummiliicous dish!
It’s a sweet n sour n slightly spicy dish and excellent accompaniment to rice!!



Without further adieu here goes the recipe..

Here is what you need

1/ 4 Cup yogurt
1/3 Cup water
1/2 tspn Turmeric powder
